Subject: [small patch] ia64 find thread for user rbs address
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 07:54:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <455C193D.9090509@intel.com> (raw)

hi,
  I encountered one problem when running ptrace test case, the
situation is this: traced process's syscall parameter needs to
be accessed, but for sys_clone system call with clone_flag
(CLONE_VFORK | CLONE_VM | SIGCHLD) parameter. this syscall's
parameter accessing result is wrong.
  The reason is that with clone_flag(CLONE_VFORK | CLONE_VM | SIGCHLD),
cloned thread's mm point is the same, but tgid is different.
without this patch find_thread_for_addr will return cloned thread,
but not the thread which call sys_clone syscall.

thanks
bibo,mao
