Slightly tested. Definitely this needs more testing, but since a) the
second patch was reviewed by Ingo and b) Andrew likes the buggy patches
very much, I am sending this series. At least I believe this all is
right "in general".
I was going to send more cleanups (siginfo/rusage filling), but it turns
out we race with Vitaly who has already started this work.
Vitaly, could you re-diff your (imho very nice) changes on top of this
series?
Oleg.

Worried. This hits on ptrace and there's a lot of ptrace work pending,
including large changes which are threatening to come in via a different
tree (security).
If we end up with marginal/flakey patches in the middle of all of this,
a big mess ensues.

This problems would be solved if all these bits were in -mm.

I merged them, but that didn't solve the problem. If more ptrace work
happens and then these patches turn out to be bad, we have a mess on
our hands.
IOW, merging "Slightly tested. Definitely this needs more testing"
patches into an area on ongoing development is a bit risky.
