Switch them to the common helper. If we're going to export ptrace_get_task_struct() to the world it would be nice to document it too - things like returning zero and a NULL *childp is a little obscure. The change breaks ALLOW_INIT_TRACING in sparc32 and sparc64. I don't know if that matters. If (presumably) not, there are cleanups left over. In arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c this patch will cause PTRACE_TRACEME requests to be handled by ptrace_request() rather than by sys_ptrace(), which is a not-obviously-correct change. Was the omission of arch/ia64/kernel/ptrace.c:sys_ptrace() deliberate? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
