Yes, but the (minor and low priority) problem is that .si_pid recorded
in ->last_siginfo does not match the tracee's pid from the tracer pov
(if they run in different namespaces).
Suppose that that we trace the task from the sub-namespace. We see its
pid == 100, but when this tracee calls ptrace_notify() it does
info.si_pid = task_pid_vnr(current), and task_pid_vnr() returns (say) 10.
Oleg.
