[PATCH v3 3/6] ptrace: Order and comment PT_flags

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Sat Oct 09 2021 - 06:20:33 EST


Add a comment to the PT_flags to indicate their actual value, this
makes it easier to see what bits are used and where there might be a
possible hole to use.

Notable PT_SEIZED was placed wrong, also PT_EVENT_FLAG() space seems
ill defined, as written is seems to be meant to cover the entire
PTRACE_O_ range offset by 3 bits, which would then be 3+[0..21],
however PT_SEIZED is in the middle of that.

XXX if at all possible, PT_SEIZED should be moved outside of this
range.
