ptrace still broken- PTRACE_CONT trap flag, and debug state

[In Cognito]

Hello,

main(){
__asm__("pushf\r\n"
               "popf\r\n"
              );
}

Single stepping through the "pushf" instruction and then attempting to
PTRACE_CONT will generate SIGTRAPs at each instruction. Although the
trap flag appears to not be set according to GETREG values, the pushf
will push a value with the TF bit on, which is then restored with
popf...

Here's an example of single stepping on a 2.6.8 and the trap flag
(uppercase letter means enabled):

8048351: push %ecx.
  eax=bffff7cc ebx=40146adc ecx=bffff740 edx=00000001
  esi=bffff7c4 edi=bffff750 ebp=bffff728 esp=bffff724
  flags= [c] [P] [a] [z] [S] [T] [I] [df] [id]

8048352: pushf .
  eax=bffff7cc ebx=40146adc ecx=bffff740 edx=00000001
  esi=bffff7c4 edi=bffff750 ebp=bffff728 esp=bffff720
  flags= [c] [P] [a] [z] [S] [T] [I] [df] [id]

8048353: popf .
  eax=bffff7cc ebx=40146adc ecx=bffff740 edx=00000001
  esi=bffff7c4 edi=bffff750 ebp=bffff728 esp=bffff724
  flags= [c] [P] [a] [z] [S] [T] [I] [df] [id]

8048354: pop %ecx.
  eax=bffff7cc ebx=40146adc ecx=bffff740 edx=00000001
  esi=bffff7c4 edi=bffff750 ebp=bffff728 esp=bffff728
  flags= [c] [P] [a] [z] [S] [T] [I] [df] [id]



and a 2.6.20

I'm not sure where along the line this was broken but it looks like
there were more than a few changes...
