[PATCH] ptrace.2: do not say that PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD may not work

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

 



Remove the old statement that PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD may not work
on all architectures.  As far as I can tell, all kernel code properly
tests PT_TRACESYSGOOD flag and sets the 7th bit in the exit code passed
to ptrace_notify().
