Sorry for the delay; I was out sick last week.
I thought I'd checked for other arch's that would be affected, but I think
I may only have noticed those that actually use compat_ptrace_request.
Every CONFIG_COMPAT arch ought to clean up to use compat_ptrace_request
anyway, replacing calls to ptrace_request or their own implementations of
things like PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG that compat_ptrace_request takes care of.
I'm not in a position to test mips, but this patch is probably what you
need to restore the build. I'd recommend that you follow this up with a
cleanup patch to use compat_ptrace_request, and another to replace
sys32_ptrace with compat_arch_ptrace and set __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE.
Thanks,
Roland
