Sure!

Can you check if the static_key_disable() and static_key_enable()
calls are correctly ordered compared to rcu_assign_pointer()
and explain why they are, as I not really understand that it's different
from tracepoint_update_call vs. rcu_assign_pointer

I think that would work, but I typically want to analyze a process
that is already running.

Sure, but it will always be racy.

With children, does new threads also count as children or only fork() children?

I may do later...

Thanks!
