rseq/cleanup: Do not abort rseq c.s. in child on fork()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Considering that we explicitly forbid system calls in rseq critical
sections, it is not valid to issue a fork or clone system call within a
rseq critical section, so rseq_fork() is not required to restart an
active rseq c.s. in the child process.
