} Looking at this file on GitHub's history it looks like:
} 
} Revert previous
} 2 days ago
} 
} Enhance reliability of ptrace(2) in a debuggee with multiple LWPs
} 2 days ago
} 
} Eliminate PS_NOTIFYSTOP remnants from the kernel 
} 2 days ago
} 
} It's hard to tell whether you reverted both, or just the last one.
} 
} It would be nice if, in general, we avoided stateful commit messages
} like this, and included a snippet of the original commit message.
} 
} e.g. Revert previous "Enhance reliability of ptrace(2) in a ..."

     "revert previous" generally means the immediately preceeding
commit.  If github can't easily show you what that is, then that
is its problem.
