Thank you for chasing. 
Hm, BTW, do you think this kind of tracepoint is useful for debugging ?
This patch is just an example.

Subject: [PATCH] oom_score_adj trace point.

oom_score_adj is set by some daemon and launch tasks ans inherited
to applications, sometimes unexpectedly.

This patch is for debugging oom_score_adj inheritance. This
adds trace points for oom_score_adj inheritance.

    bash-2501  [002]   448.860197: oom_score_adj_update: task 2501[bash] updates oom_score_adj=-1000
    bash-2501  [002]   455.678190: oom_score_adj_inherited: new task 2527 inherited oom_score_adj -1000
    ls-2527  [007]   455.678683: oom_score_task_rename: task 2527[bash] to [ls] oom_score_adj=-1000
    bash-2501  [007]   461.632103: oom_score_adj_inherited: new task 2528 inherited oom_score_adj -1000
    bash-2501  [007]   461.632335: oom_score_adj_inherited: new task 2529 inherited oom_score_adj -1000
    ls-2528  [003]   461.632983: oom_score_task_rename: task 2528[bash] to [ls] oom_score_adj=-1000
    less-2529  [005]   461.633086: oom_score_task_rename: task 2529[bash] to [less] oom_score_adj=-1000
    bash-2501  [004]   474.888710: oom_score_adj_update: task 2501[bash] updates oom_score_adj=0
