Re: [PATCH 04/10] ptrace: kill tracehook_notify_jctl()

I'm OK with this one if Oleg is. I'll leave it up to him. What's good
about the tracehook functions is that they clearly specify the semantics
and the assumptions in their kerneldoc comments. It's ok to change things
around and have some fur flying while we clean things up. But we really
should get back to a situation where the semantics and the logic of the
code are clearly documented, and we don't have implementation details and
ptrace user ABI semantics jumbled together implicitly in code that doesn't
explain what it all means.


Thanks,
Roland
