I've done a rebase of the utrace patch in the F-9 kernel. Builds >= 2.6.26.6-74.fc9 have the new code. It should now match the rawhide/F-10 version of utrace exactly.

I believe this fixes all the outstanding ptrace-related regressions reported for f9 kernels. But I didn't scour bugzilla to keep track. The ptrace-tests suite results now match upstream kernels on x86_64. (I haven't actually tested other machines at all lately.)

2.6.26.6-74.fc9 is done in koji and 2.6.26.6-75.fc9 is building right now. That has only one small fix vs -74, and it's not one for any ptrace issue (or user-visible at all, just syscall_get_arguments() for utrace modules).

I hope someone will snarf the builds from koji and test in the next day or so. (After this week, I'll be on vacation until mid-November.) Chuck will decide when a new build should be pushed as an f9 update.

Thanks, Roland
