RE: [Dazuko-devel] [PATCH] Fix compilation errors on Fedora Core 6 Test 2

[Tikka, Sami]

I downloaded FC6 kernel src rpm, ran "rpmbuild -bp
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel.spec" and examined the sys_exec function in the
kernel tree.

I noticed that this part:

                        task_lock(current);
                        current->ptrace &= ~PT_DTRACE;
                        task_unlock(current);

Was not anymore present in the FC6 kernel, so I commented it out. I admit
that I assumed this change belong to kernel 2.6.17 and is not an unofficial
patch. Perhaps I should have checked. Perhaps I will do that now.

... And it seems that change is not in 2.6.17, it comes from
linux-2.6.17.utrace.patch in FC6 kernel src rpm.

I cannot see any obvious way to see from the kernel headers whether that
patch has been applied or not, so perhaps you can just ignore my patch and we
can forget FC6 for now.
