85e8765b7e Clarify getfsstat(2) usage.
The getfsstat(2) function expects a buffer and a count, and returns a count.

The confusing part is that the count it takes is a byte count, while the
return value is a count of the number of structures it has filled out.

Spell this out.

b41e0f0f56 Document the new PT_LWPINFO request. In fact, the request is so new
it hasn't even been implemented yet. I just wanted to be the first
to try a new approach to development ;-)

ccfddc1cce Clarify the behavior of ptrace(2) a little bit: the tracing process
must first attach to the traced process.  If the tracing process
exits without detaching, the traced process will be killed rather
than continued.  For the duration of the tracing session, the traced
process is reparented to the tracing process (with resulting expected
behaviors).  It is permissible to trace more than one other process
at a time.  When using waitpid() to monitor the behavior of the traced
process, signals are intercepted: they may optionally then be
forwarded using ptrace().  Signals are generated normally by and for
the process, but also by the tracing facility (SIGTRAP).
