I don't think the flag clearing on PTRACE_KILL matters as the process is a zombie and almost gone anyway, it's more an artefact of the generic implementation that I wanted to mention. It seems like avr32 implement single stepping by setting the TIF_SINGLE_STEP and TIF_BREAKPOINT thread flags. Simply clearing these flags in user_disable_single_step and calling that function from ptrace_disable (which currently clears them itself) should take care of it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
