Hi!
> This patch extends the LTP debugging framework by introducing multiple

> processes.

> The supported debug levels are:
> -D0 : Disable all debug logs (default behavior)
> -D1 (-D): Enable debug logs for the test process only
> -D2 : Enable verbose debug logs for both the test and library processes

I suppose that we do not need the if (context->tdebug) now.
Otherwise it looks good.
