The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures. This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as arch_ptrace.The signature of arch_ptrace needs to return long, and not int. The PTRACE_PEEK{TEXT,DATA,USR} requests return a "word", which on 64-bit arches needs to be a 64-bit type.
Ok. Will be that way in the next patch.
