Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ptrace/x86: Revert "hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints"
Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2013 18:05:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130414160526.GA7635@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130414160501.GA7612@redhat.com>
This reverts commit 87dc669ba25777b67796d7262c569429e58b1ed4.
The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after
9899d11f "ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race
with SIGKILL", the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and
->ptrace_bps[] can't go away.
The patch only removes ptrace_get_breakpoints/ptrace_put_breakpoints
and does a couple of "while at it" cleanups, it doesn't remove other
changes from the reverted commit.
