It triggers segfaults in random user processes which is bad enough.

And even with that 'fix' applied I can see random segfaults just less
frequent.

True.

I've gathered a trace from a crash. It's available here:

     https://tglx.de/~tglx/log.1.xz

The interesting part is:

That last #PF kills it. What's weird is the PF address 0x495 which is the
return value of sys_clone() above. Might be coincidence, but I don't think
so.

Haven't had time to dig deeper.

Thanks,
