Like in __event__synthesize_thread(), I think it's better to use scandir() instead of the readdir() loop. In case some malicious task continues to create new threads, the readdir() loop will run over and over to collect tids. The scandir() also has the problem but the window is much smaller since it doesn't do much work during the iteration. Also add filter_task() function as we only care the tasks.

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.
