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@xxxxxxxxxx> 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.
