From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Christoph Hellwig Subject: missing compat_sys_ptrace conversions for mips and parisc Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2008 04:29:24 +0200 Message-ID: <20080817022924.GA23625@lst.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org, linux-parisc@vger.kernel.org Return-path: List-ID: List-Id: linux-parisc.vger.kernel.org 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: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git&a=commitdiff&h=81e695c026eeda9a97e412fa4f458e5cab2f6c85
