Linus Torvalds 5307cc1aa5 Remove broken ptrace() special-case code from file mapping ... The kernel has for random historical reasons allowed ptrace() accesses to access (and insert) pages into the page cache above the size of the file. However, Nick broke that by mistake when doing the new fault handling in commit 54cb8821de ("mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)". The breakage caused a hang with gdb when trying to access the invalid page. The ptrace "feature" really isn't worth resurrecting, since it really is wrong both from a portability _and_ from an internal page cache validity standpoint. So this removes those old broken remnants, and fixes the ptrace() hang in the process. Noticed and bisected by Duane Griffin, who also supplied a test-case (quoth Nick: "Well that's probably the best bug report I've ever had, thanks Duane!").
