alpha: convert to generic sys_ptrace

2007-10-16T16:43:03+00:00

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 :)

PTRACE_POKEDATA consolidation

2007-07-17T17:23:03+00:00

Identical implementations of PTRACE_POKEDATA go into generic_ptrace_pokedata()
function.

AFAICS, fix bug on xtensa where successful PTRACE_POKEDATA will nevertheless
return EPERM.

[PATCH] use ptrace_get_task_struct in various places

2006-01-09T04:13:51+00:00

The ptrace_get_task_struct() helper that I added as part of the ptrace
consolidation is useful in variety of places that currently opencode it.
Switch them to the common helpers.

Add a ptrace_traceme() helper that needs to be explicitly called, and simplify
the ptrace_get_task_struct() interface.  We don't need the request argument
now, and we return the task_struct directly, using ERR_PTR() for error
returns.  It's a bit more code in the callers, but we have two sane routines
that do one thing well now.

[PATCH] convert that currently tests _NSIG directly to use valid_signal()

2005-05-01T15:59:14+00:00

Convert most of the current code that uses _NSIG directly to instead use
valid_signal().  This avoids gcc -W warnings and off-by-one errors.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
