Ahh...:) Maybe something during do_fork() hasn't set the 
task_struct->comm properly according the new ELF binary loaded.

But anyway, as you know, putting kprobe's hook on do_execve only catch 
new binary invocation, is it really what you want? Previously I thought 
you wanted to catch general fork scenario...CMIIW

Maybe what you need is putting the probe into multiple place e.g 
sys_fork and sys_execve and so on.

Try relayfs? Anyway, you said "freeze", during which event?
