attached below.
You were cc'ed every time ;)

Because this series needs to update any user of ptrace_get/put_breakpoints
in arch/ (simply remove these calls), then change the core kernel code, then
fix arch/86.

Subject: ptrace/powerpc: revert "hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints"
This reverts commit 07fa7a0a8a586 ("hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to
ptrace breakpoints") and removes ptrace_get/put_breakpoints() added by
other commits.
The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after 9899d11f
("ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL"),
the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and ->ptrace_bps[] can't go
away.
