[PATCH 3/9] ptrace/um: Replace PT_DTRACE with TIF_SINGLESTEP

Tue Apr 26 15:52:05 PDT 2022


User mode linux is the last user of the PT_DTRACE flag.  Using the flag to indicate
single stepping is a little confusing and worse changing tsk->ptrace without locking
could potentionally cause problems.

So use a thread info flag with a better name instead of flag in tsk->ptrace.

Remove the definition PT_DTRACE as uml is the last user.
