2008-12-20x86, bts: add fork and exit handlingMarkus Metzger
Impact: introduce new ptrace facility Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies); ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach. Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a traced task is forked. Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork. Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do that when the traced task dies.

2008-11-30remove __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACEChristoph Hellwig
All architectures now use the generic compat_sys_ptrace, as should every new architecture that needs 32bit compat (if we'll ever get another). Remove the now superflous __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE define, and also kill a comment about __ARCH_SYS_PTRACE that was added after __ARCH_SYS_PTRACE was already gone.

2008-10-22x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guardsH. Peter Anvin
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
