PTRACE_SINGLESTEP x86 vs alpha

PTRACE_SINGLESTEP x86 vs alpha

[J . A . Magallon]

Hi everyrone.

I'm trying to solve rejects when applying bproc-3.0.1 (designed for 2.4.7)
to 2.4.10-pre14. Everything is solved but this.

In arch/[i386,alpha]/kernel/ptrace.c:sys_ptrace,
code looks a bit different between i386 and alpha:

x86:
    case PTRACE_SINGLESTEP: {  /* set the trap flag. */
        long tmp;

        ret = -EIO;
        if ((unsigned long) data > _NSIG)
            break;
        child->ptrace &= ~PT_TRACESYS;
        if ((child->ptrace & PT_DTRACE) == 0) {
            /* Spurious delayed TF traps may occur */
            child->ptrace |= PT_DTRACE;
        }
        tmp = get_stack_long(child, EFL_OFFSET) | TRAP_FLAG;
        put_stack_long(child, EFL_OFFSET, tmp);
        child->exit_code = data;
        /* give it a chance to run. */
        wake_up_process(child);
        ret = 0;
        break;
    }

alpha:
    case PTRACE_SINGLESTEP:  /* execute single instruction. */
        ret = -EIO;
        if ((unsigned long) data > _NSIG)
            goto out;
        child->thread.bpt_nsaved = -1;  /* mark single-stepping */
        child->ptrace &= ~PT_TRACESYS;
        wake_up_process(child);          <==========0
        child->exit_code = data;         <==========0 different
												order than x86
        /* give it a chance to run. */
        ret = 0;
        goto out;                        <==========0 so bad are
										breaks in alpha gcc ??

Is it safe to reorder wake_up_process(child) and put it just before the goto ?

TIA
