    Subject[patch 09/21] x86_64: fix 2.6.18 regression - PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS should be accepted
    -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------

    Also PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS should be accepted, as done by kernel/ptrace.c and
    forced by binary compatibility. UML/32bit breaks because of this - since it is wise
    enough to use PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS to be binary compatible with 2.4 host
    kernels.

    Until 2.6.17 (commit f0f2d6536e3515b5b1b7ae97dc8f176860c8c2ce) we had:

    default:
    return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data);

    Instead here we have:
    case PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA:
    case ...:
    return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data);

    default:
    return -EINVAL;

    This change was a style change - when a case is added, it must be explicitly
    tested this way. In this case, not enough testing was done.
