Hi:
What's the effect of PT_TRACESYSGOOD flag? I found it's used only set in ptrace_setoptions,which is called in the function ptrace_request. And the PT_TRACESYSGOOD flag will be requested in do_syscall_trace. What's the purpose of that flag? Thanks!

Then I think the tracing thread should call the ptrace_request to set
PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD flag of the traced thread first before
ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL...) ,right?
Thanks a lot!

Yes.
>From a baby ptrace demo:
#define SIGSYSTRAP (SIGTRAP | sysgood_bit)
int sysgood_bit = 0;
void set_sysgood(pid_t p) {
#ifdef PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD
int i = ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, p, 0, (void*) PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD);
if (i == 0)
sysgood_bit = 0x80;
else
perror("PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD");
#endif
}
and now the signal SIGSYSTRAP signifies a system call when the sysgood bit
was implemented, anything different from SIGSYSTRAP is guaranteed to be a signal.
