It's been a while since the last set of ptrace patches; here's what I've
queued up. They'll follow in individual messages, or they're available by
BitKeeper (details below).
These are all small changes; there may be some more interesting ones in a
couple of weeks, after GDB support for NPTL is more mature. Overview:
- Two new traceable events, end-of-vfork and process exit.
- Ptrace calls to get and set the siginfo struct associated with a signal.
- Two separate signal handling fixes for the fork-tracing and CLONE_PTRACE
support.
- A bugfix to prevent zombie processes when debugging LinuxThreads.

Signal handling bugs for thread exit + ptrace
<drow@nevyn.them.org> (03/02/06 1.960)
Add PTRACE_O_TRACEVFORKDONE and PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT facilities.
<drow@nevyn.them.org> (03/02/04 1.959)
Use force_sig_specific to send SIGSTOP to newly-created CLONE_PTRACE processes.
<drow@nevyn.them.org> (03/01/18 1.958)
Add PTRACE_GETSIGINFO and PTRACE_SETSIGINFO
These new ptrace commands allow a debugger to control signals more precisely;
for instance, store a signal and deliver it later, as if it had come from the
original outside process or in response to the same faulting memory access.
