| |
As Roland pointed out, PT_DTRACE is not actually used except in uml and should die.
Remove it from h8300, avr32, mn10300, parisc, s390, sh, xtensa, m68k, m68knommu, m32r. The patches are rather simple (but untested), I tried to split the changes by "category".
With this series arch/um is the only one who uses PT_DTRACE and thinks task_lock() is needed for ptrace related code. This will be addressed later (tanks Jeff for your reply).
Oleg.
