[PATCH 1/5] ptrace/x86: Revert "hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access toptrace breakpoints"

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Sun Apr 14 2013 - 12:08:29 EST


This reverts commit 87dc669ba25777b67796d7262c569429e58b1ed4.

The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after
9899d11f "ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race
with SIGKILL", the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and
->ptrace_bps[] can't go away.

The patch only removes ptrace_get_breakpoints/ptrace_put_breakpoints
and does a couple of "while at it" cleanups, it doesn't remove other
changes from the reverted commit.
