Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve

This is a follow up on Eric's patch series to
fix the deadlocks observed with ptracing when execve
in multi-threaded applications.

This fixes the simple and most important case where
the cred_guard_mutex causes strace to deadlock.

This also adds a test case (which is only partially
fixed so far, the rest of the fixes will follow
soon).

Two trivial comment fixes are also included.

Bernd Edlinger (4):
  exec: Fix a deadlock in ptrace
  selftests/ptrace: add test cases for dead-locks
  mm: docs: Fix a comment in process_vm_rw_core
  kernel: doc: remove outdated comment in prepare_kernel_cred
