Hallo,
The following patch added in 2.4.0test8-pre4 breaks ups (an alternative
source level debugger that does not use gdb):
--- v2.4.0-test7/linux/arch/i386/kernel/ptrace.c Fri Jun 23 21:55:07 2000
+++ linux/arch/i386/kernel/ptrace.c Sat Sep 2 12:00:02 2000

case EFL:
value &= FLAG_MASK;
value |= get_stack_long(child, EFL_OFFSET) & ~FLAG_MASK;
+ break;
+ case EIP:
+ /* Mark us as not being in a system call, so that no restart issues happen */
+ put_stack_long(child, 4*ORIG_EAX - sizeof(struct pt_regs), -1);
+ break;
}
if (regno > GS*4)
regno -= 2*4;
When it tries to set EIP after the first break point the program crashes now:
[....]

ptrace(PTRACE_POKETEXT, 500, 0x4000ab10, 0x89e589cc) = 0

fcntl(4, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY|O_ASYNC) = 0
wait4(-1, [WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGSEGV], WNOHANG, NULL) = 500
With the EIP patch reverted it works fine again. I propose to revert the patch.
