Subject: [PATCH] signal: Revert ptrace preempt magic
Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 16:36:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180524143629.2ofsg7mhjixr5pnm@linutronix.de> (raw)

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

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.
