Yes, I did mean that.

PTRACE configurable makes a lot of sense, especially as we want to get rid of it very long term. Making UTRACE configurable aswel as all these tracehooks wrappers just make the code utterly unreadable. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
