-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Ingo Molnar upstream commit: d45b41ae8da0f54aec0eebcc6f893ba5f22a1e8e Oleg Nesterov found a couple of races in the ptrace-bts code and fixes are queued up for it but they did not get ready in time for the merge window. We'll merge them in v2.6.31 - until then mark the feature as CONFIG_BROKEN. There's no user-space yet making use of this so it's not a big issue.
