Subject: missing compat_sys_ptrace conversions for mips and parisc
Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2008 04:29:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080817022924.GA23625@lst.de> (raw)
Currently mips and parisc are the only architectures not yet converted
to the generic compat_sys_ptrace. The conversion is rather trivial and
only involves splitting the current compat_ptrace handler into a
compat_arch_ptrace with all the meat and the existing compat_sys_ptrace
that does all the boilerplate code, just like the generic sys_ptrace.
To get the generic compat_sys_ptrace you have to add a
#define __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE
to ptrace.h for now, but once mips and parisc are converted this will of
course be removed. Take a look at the powerpc conversion as an example:
