[PATCH 0/2] alpha/ptrace: Improved switch_stack handling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This pair of changes has not received anything beyond build and boot
testing.  I am posting these changes as they do a much better job of
warning of problems and shutting down the security hole.  Making them
a much better pattern than the my last patch.

I hope to get the test cases soon.
