That is a really nasty problem. You need a synchronization primitive
which guarantees a flat stack, so you can't do it in the interrupt

meantime, were there ever any solutions to the syscall patching problem
that might lend me a clue as to what to do (or not to do, or impossible?).
yes we just disallowed it :)
Ok, I just took a cold shower. Actually, this problem is much easier to
solve for paravirt-ops, since they are short lived operations and don't
block. For syscall, it is much, much harder, since you have syscalls
that can block forever, so you can't guarantee you'll exit all instances
of the syscall you want to patch.
I think the paravirt-ops one is doable with exports already provided by
Linux.
