They are certainly not as dismal as the arch PTRACE_PEEKUSR delivering
mm->fields.  But, frankly I don't think ptrace is the right mechanism for
delivering any read-only, process-shared information.  You can use some
/proc/pid/foo for that.  (The "dismal" cases deliver things like
start_code, which is already available in /proc/pid/stat.)


Thanks,
