I don't think so. Getting in a monolitic patch that redoes all the debugging is quite impossible, nevermind the problems with all the overengineering and locking in there. Instead Alexey is looking into redoing the important bits from ptrace in small steps and I'm trying to help him a little with that. Having everyone use the generic sys_ptrace would be a very useful step in that direction. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
