From a288eecce5253cc1565d400a52b9b476a157e040 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 16:50:37 +0200 Subject: ptrace: kill trivial tracehooks At this point, tracehooks aren't useful to mainline kernel and mostly just add an extra layer of obfuscation. Although they have comments, without actual in-kernel users, it is difficult to tell what are their assumptions and they're actually trying to achieve. To mainline kernel, they just aren't worth keeping around. This patch kills the following trivial tracehooks. * Ones testing whether task is ptraced. Replace with ->ptrace test. tracehook_expect_breakpoints() tracehook_consider_ignored_signal() tracehook_consider_fatal_signal() * ptrace_event() wrappers. Call directly. tracehook_report_exec() tracehook_report_exit() tracehook_report_vfork_done() * ptrace_release_task() wrapper. Call directly. tracehook_finish_release_task() * noop tracehook_prepare_release_task() tracehook_report_death() This doesn't introduce any behavior change.
