2.4.0-test1 linux/sched.h

[tom_gall]

Anyone notice that on

2.4.0-test1-ac18 that sched.h was changed to remove

#define PF_PTRACED 0x00000010
#define PF_TRACESYS 0x00000020

I need both of these systems to get a successful zImage built for my Power3 box.
Anyone know why there were removed, do we really really need this or should
dependancies on these symbols go?

Regards,

Tom

Yes, this was part of a fix for a race condition in accessing the
tsk->flags field.  Initially only ix86 was updated with the necessary
changes but I have since sent in a patch to Alan and it should be
fixed in the latest -ac version.
