thanks, i've merged your 11 patches - they passed a basic build and boot test as well.
Roland, you've done a lot of gdb / strace / glibc development, what would you suggest for us to use as a ptrace regression checker? The problem is that ptrace is not normally used on a default bootup of a distro, and some of the ptrace features are really arcane. UML is an extensive ptrace user, so running it might be a good start, but do you know of any, more directed testsuite that is expected to hit all (or at least a substantial percentage of) the various ptrace features that we are affecting with these ptrace patches?
btw., your cleanup patches are having a nice effect on code quality as well:
errors lines of code errors/KLOC [before] arch/x86/ 5231 116998 44.7 [after] arch/x86/ 5132 116656 43.9
(the 'errors' column is the sum of all .c files as per the error count of scripts/checkpatch.pl --file output)
it's refreshing to see life being brought back into the ptrace code again :-)
