From fb7fa8f1741c91f6c6e958762155abe9339476ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:30:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ptrace: arch_has_single_step This defines the new macro arch_has_single_step() in linux/ptrace.h, a default for when asm/ptrace.h does not define it. It declares the new user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions. This is not used yet, but paves the way to harmonize on this interface for the arch-specific calls on all machines.
