[patch 4/4] SYSEMU: fix sysaudit / singlestep interaction

[blaisorblade@yahoo.it]

From: Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@fujitsu-siemens.com>, Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>
CC: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>

This is simply an adjustment for "Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction
with singlestep" to work on top of SYSEMU patches, too. On this patch, I have
some doubts: I wonder why we need to alter that way ptrace_disable().

I left the patch this way because it has been extensively tested, but I don't
understand the reason.

The current PTRACE_DETACH handling simply clears child->ptrace; actually this
is not enough because entry.S just looks at the thread_flags; actually,
do_syscall_trace checks current->ptrace but I don't think depending on that is
good, at least for performance, so I think the clearing is done elsewhere. For
instance, on PTRACE_CONT it's done, but doing PTRACE_DETACH without
PTRACE_CONT is possible (and happens when gdb crashes and one kills it
manually).
