Message-Id: <20080717071141.012BD15411D@magilla.localdomain> Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:11:40 -0700 (PDT) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1620 Lines: 40 I posted an earlier version of this patch series before, and I believe this has fixed the quibbles there were with it before. These changes pave the way for cleaning up ptrace a lot more in the future. This series is a prerequisite for the following "tracehook" series, but only because of patch conflicts. They can be reviewed separately.
