Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] ptrace: x86: change syscall_trace_leave() to rely on tracehook when stepping
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:39:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091112173901.GA12289@redhat.com> (raw)
Suggested by Roland.
Unlike powepc, x86 always calls tracehook_report_syscall_exit(step)
with step = 0, and sends the trap by hand.
This results in unnecessary SIGTRAP when PTRACE_SINGLESTEP follows
the syscall-exit stop.
Change syscall_trace_leave() to pass the correct "step" argument to
tracehook and remove the send_sigtrap() logic.
