From bd0efbad983bcef88b9a368f2d168e0305b7d655 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:57:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 051/365] signal: Revert ptrace preempt magic Upstream commit '53da1d9456fe7f8 fix ptrace slowness' is nothing more than a bandaid around the ptrace design trainwreck. It's not a correctness issue, it's merily a cosmetic bandaid.
