2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: David S. Miller [ Upstream commit: 986bef854fab44012df678a5b51817d5274d3ca1 ] Forever we had a PTRACE_SUNOS_DETACH which was unconditionally recognized, regardless of the personality of the process. Unfortunately, this value is what ended up in the GLIBC sys/ptrace.h header file on sparc as PTRACE_DETACH and PT_DETACH. So continue to recognize this old value. Luckily, it doesn't conflict with anything we actually care about. Signed-off-by: David S.
