From 2b2a1ff64afbadac842bbc58c5166962cf4f7664 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:45:54 -0700 Subject: tracehook: death This moves the ptrace logic in task death (exit_notify) into tracehook.h inlines. Some code is rearranged slightly to make things nicer. There is no change, only cleanup. There is one hook called with the tasklist_lock write-locked, as ptrace needs. There is also a new hook called after exit_state changes and without locks. This is a better place for tracing work to be in the future, since it doesn't delay the whole system with locking.
