Looks like 64-bit syscalls just stop working at some point in new processes. That is, existing process is alive and well, but children get SEGV after fork (most likely on any syscall64 they do, not after fork per se. They eventually manage to kill themselves - not trivial when exit syscall isn't working either - by tripping on HLT insn). 32-bit syscalls (int 80) continue to work. Fork, exec, whatever you want. I have static 32-bit busybox binary and everything works there. Also, any 64-bit process which was under strace continues to work correctly, including forks and execs. This points towards some bug on fast path sysret64 code.
