From d21142ece414ce1088cfcae760689aa60d6fee80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 16:50:34 +0200 Subject: ptrace: kill task_ptrace() task_ptrace(task) simply dereferences task->ptrace and isn't even used consistently only adding confusion. Kill it and directly access ->ptrace instead. This doesn't introduce any behavior change.

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.
