When a new mm is being created in a fork() path it currently is allocated and then attached in one go. This leaves the mm exposed out to the tracing register callbacks while any parent enabler locations are copied in. This should not happen. Split up mm alloc and attach as unique operations. When duplicating enablers, first alloc, then duplicate, and only upon success, attach. This prevents any timing window outside of the event_reg mutex for enablement walking. This allows for dropping RCU requirement for enablement walking in later patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
