[PATCH v2 05/16] ptrace: in PEEK_SIGINFO, check syscall bitness, not task bitness

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

 



Users of the 32-bit ptrace() ABI expect the full 32-bit ABI.
siginfo translation should check ptrace() ABI, not caller task ABI.

This is an ABI change on SPARC.  Let's hope that no one relied on
the old buggy ABI.
