btw., while at it, please also fix the typos in
include/linux/ptrace.h's PT_* flags section:

/*
* Ptrace flags
*
* The owner ship rules for task->ptrace which holds the ptrace
* flags is simple. When a task is running it owns it's task->ptrace
* flags. When the a task is stopped the ptracer owns task->ptrace.
*/

s/owner ship/ownership
s/it's/its

Thanks,

Ingo
