[merged] ptrace-x86-change-syscall_trace_leave-to-rely-on-tracehook-when-stepping.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     ptrace: x86: change syscall_trace_leave() to rely on tracehook when stepping
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ptrace-x86-change-syscall_trace_leave-to-rely-on-tracehook-when-stepping.patch

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

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: ptrace: x86: change syscall_trace_leave() to rely on tracehook when stepping
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

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.
