Subject: [PATCH 12/14] ptrace: reorganize __ptrace_unlink() and ptrace_untrace()
Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2010 11:49:27 +0100

* Collapse ptrace_untrace() into __ptrace_unlink().

* Always do the whole unlinking inside siglock.

* Untracing is done before unlinking.

This is to prepare for further changes.  As the whole
unlinking/tracing is done inside both tasklist lock and siglock, the
reordering doesn't cause any visible behavior difference.
