[PATCH 1/1] ptrace_vm: let us simplify the code for ptrace and add useful features for VM

From: Renzo Davoli
Date: Mon Jun 16 2008 - 04:21:24 EST


This patch adds the new PTRACE_VM_SKIPCALL and PTRACE_VM_SKIPEXIT
tags for ptrace's addr parameter.
In this way it is possible to (eventually) get rid of PTRACE_SYSEMU
PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP, while providing not only the same features
but a more general support for Virtual Machines.
