The patch titled alpha: convert to generic sys_ptrace has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was alpha-convert-to-generic-sys_ptrace.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: alpha: convert to generic sys_ptrace From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> This patch converts alpha to the generic sys_ptrace. We use force_successful_syscall_return to avoid having to pass the pt_regs pointer down to the function. I think the removal of the assemly stub is correct, but I could only compile-test this patch, so please give it a spin before commiting :) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Cc: Richard Henderson <rth@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S | 9 ------- arch/alpha/kernel/ptrace.c | 42 +++++------------------------------ include/asm-alpha/ptrace.h | 2 - 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) diff -puN arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S~alpha-convert-to-generic-sys_ptrace arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S --- a/arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S~alpha-convert-to-generic-sys_ptrace +++ a/arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S @@ -917,15 +917,6 @@ sys_pipe: .end sys_pipe .align 4 - .globl sys_ptrace - .ent sys_ptrace -sys_ptrace: - .prologue 0 - mov $sp, $20 - jmp $31, do_sys_ptrace -.end sys_ptrace - - .align 4 .globl sys_execve .ent sys_execve sys_execve: diff -puN arch/alpha/kernel/ptrace.c~alpha-convert-to-generic-sys_ptrace arch/alpha/kernel/ptrace.c --- a/arch/alpha/kernel/ptrace.c~alpha-convert-to-generic-sys_ptrace +++ a/arch/alpha/kernel/ptrace.c @@ -260,38 +260,12 @@ void ptrace_disable(struct task_struct * ptrace_cancel_bpt(child);
