- x86_64-ia32-ptrace-thread_area-fix.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     x86_64: ia32 ptrace THREAD_AREA fix
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     x86_64-ia32-ptrace-thread_area-fix.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: x86_64: ia32 ptrace THREAD_AREA fix
From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>

The addr argument to PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA and PTRACE_SET_THREAD_AREA is
not a magic constant.  It's derived from the segment register values being
used, which are computed originally from the index used with
set_thread_area.  The value does not need to match what a native i386
kernel would accept.  It needs to match the segment selectors that can
actually be in use in this 32-bit process.  The 64-bit ptrace support for
PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA (normally used only on 32-bit processes) is correct,
but the 32-bit emulation of ptrace is broken.
