we have uninitialized_var() for this,

	pid_t uninitialized_var(old_pid);

May be PT_TRACE_EXEC makes more sense. Note that ptrace_event_enabled() was
recently added.

OK, this looks correct. But imho this code looks strange inside the
for (;;) loop. Perhaps it would be more clean to record the old pid
before.

Also, this line is too long. Personally I do not care, but I told you
we have the coding style police. Please use ./scripts/checkpatch.pl

Heh, you are out of luck ;) This hook was already killed. Please redo
against git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/oleg/misc.git ptrace


Also, please update the changelog. It should clearly explain why do we
need this feature and what this patch does. The output from a test
program doesn't make too much sense unless you show the source code.

Oleg.
