I am fine with this name (or any other).  But note in considering your
suggestions that we will shortly have another separate struct with a
similar name.  The first one is the state of a ptrace tracee task (bits
about itself and pointing to its tracer).  The second is the state of a
ptrace tracer (head of its tracees list, locks, etc).

A name like "ptrace_context" could be read as intuitive for either of these
two quite different things.  Perhaps this is true of "ptrace_task" too,
though it seemed to us like it wasn't too unclear, and preferably shorter
than something like "ptrace_tracee_context".


Thanks,
Roland
