The patch titled x86: tracehook_signal_handler has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was x86-tracehook_signal_handler.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: x86: tracehook_signal_handler From: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx> This makes the x86 signal handling code use tracehook_signal_handler() in place of calling into ptrace guts. The call is moved after the sa_mask processing, but there is no other change. This cleanup doesn't matter to existing debuggers, but is the sensible thing: have all facets of the handler setup complete before the debugger inspects the task again.
