Hi,

Actually, this patch is not only for utrace, but also fixing /proc/pid/syscall.
I made a small program which reads /proc/pid/syscall via both of read() and syscall().

Without this patch:
---
read() read: 1026 0x3 0x60000fffffcb75e8 0x100 0x60000fffffcb7700 0x0 0x20000000000b03f0 0x600007ffffcbc020
0xa000000000010721

syscall() read: 1026 0x402 0x3 0x60000fffffcb75e8 0x100 0x2a8 0x0 0x600007ffffcbc048 0x2000000000209730
---
You can see "0x402"(1026) appeared at syscall() read result.

With this patch:
---
read() read: 1026 0x3 0x60000fffff8a35c8 0x100 0x60000fffff8a36e0 0x0 0x20000000000b03f0 0x600007ffff8a8020
0xa000000000010721

syscall() read: 1026 0x3 0x60000fffff8a35c8 0x100 0x2a8 0x0 0x4 0x600007ffff8a8048 0x2000000000209730
---
Here, you can see that "0x402" disappeared from syscall() case.

Thank you,
