The latter seems cleaner, but someone would have to fight the battle to get this into the platform-independent portion of the kernel (and worry about all the security issues that ptrace has to worry about, etc). If you want to pursue this, that would be great. But the discussion should involve the linux-kernel list in that case. --david
