ptrace.2: add extended description of various ptrace quirks
...
Changes include:
s/parent/tracer/g, s/child/tracee/g - ptrace interface now
is sufficiently cleaned up to not treat tracing process
as parent.
Deleted several outright false statements:
- pid 1 can be traced
- tracer is not shown as parent in ps output
- PTRACE_ATTACH is not "the same behavior as if tracee had done
a PTRACE_TRACEME": PTRACE_ATTACH delivers a SIGSTOP.
- SIGSTOP _can_ be injected.
- Removed mentions of SunOS and Solaris as irrelevant.
- Added a few more known bugs.
Added a large block of text in DESCRIPTION which doesn't focus
on mechanical description of each flag and operation, but rather
tries to describe a bigger picture. The targeted audience is
a person which is reasonably knowledgeable in Unix but did not
spend years working with ptrace, and thus may be unaware of its
quirks. This text went through several iterations of review by
Oleg Nesterov and Tejun Heo.
This block of text intentionally uses as little markup as possible,
otherwise future modifications to it will be very hard to make.

is not in the normal signal delivery path. This means the parent
