It's in linux-next git: commit fe948360bf475b705c021fc9ba8ee3992c5d0d67 Author: Denys Vlasenko <[email protected]> Date: Tue Mar 6 11:25:31 2012 +1100 ptrace: remove PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL bit PTRACE_SEIZE code is tested and ready for production use, remove the code which requires special bit in data argument to make PTRACE_SEIZE work. Strace team prepares for a new release of strace, and we would like to ship the code which uses PTRACE_SEIZE, preferably after this change goes into released kernel.
