Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ptrace: introduce user_single_step_siginfo() helper
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:31:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091111213155.GA10647@redhat.com> (raw)

Suggested by Roland.

Currently there is no way to synthesize a single-stepping trap in the
arch-independent manner. This patch adds the default helper which fills
siginfo_t, arch/ can can override it.
