The patch titled Subject: ptrace: in PEEK_SIGINFO, check syscall bitness, not task bitness has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ptrace-in-peek_siginfo-check-syscall-bitness-not-task-bitness.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ptrace: in PEEK_SIGINFO, check syscall bitness, not task bitness 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.
