From 0f4814065ff8c24ca8bfd75c9b73502be152c287 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Metzger Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 16:43:48 +0200 Subject: x86, ptrace: add bts context unconditionally Add the ptrace bts context field to task_struct unconditionally. Initialize the field directly in copy_process(). Remove all the unneeded functionality used to initialize that field.

The attachment of a debugger to a process affects execve()'s calculation of the new credential state - _and_ also setprocattr()'s calculation of that state.
