PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO requires PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD but not documented

[Nate Eldredge]

It seems that the PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO function of ptrace(2) only works 
properly if the tracer has set the PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD option.  The man 
page doesn't mention this requirement.  Is it intentional?

The issue is that ptrace_get_syscall_info() in kernel/ptrace.c only calls 
the ptrace_get_syscall_info_{entry,exit} functions to fully populate the 
ptrace_syscall_info struct if child->last_siginfo->si_code == SIGTRAP | 
0x80.  And the 0x80 bit is only set when PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD is in 
effect.  Otherwise, the struct always comes back to userspace with op == 
PTRACE_SYSCALL_INFO_NONE and the entry (or exit) member is not filled in 
with the system call arguments (or return value).
