From eb5a3699311ba8ed22b7b38ceb3bb1411e438e2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:33:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ptrace: cleanup arch_ptrace() on x86 Remove checking @addr less than 0 because @addr is now unsigned and use new udescp variable in order to remove unnecessary castings.
