From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:57:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 032/342] signal: Revert ptrace preempt magic Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=51da8853d991fbd0844a069e36176cf6ed659a37 Upstream commit '53da1d9456fe7f8 fix ptrace slowness' is nothing more than a bandaid around the ptrace design trainwreck. It's not a correctness issue, it's merily a cosmetic bandaid.
