[PATCH 2/14] alpha: use generic ptrace_resume code

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Tue Feb 02 2010 - 13:59:21 EST


Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which
also causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which
could be considered a bug fix.

Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL
which it previously wasn't, which is consistent with all architectures
using the modern ptrace code.
