Hello,

While we're here, there is an ptrace exploit in the syscall handling.

The kernel parses arguments, gets the address of the syscall handling 
routine in t2, and goes to the process which ptraces. On return from 
this process, the kernel restores t2 from the user stack and jumps 
there. I've got an example that gets root from this.

Regards,
Gleb.
