Currently, there are three tests that fail on my Ubuntu machine because I have the Yama security module enabled, and it ensures that a process can only be
ptrace()ed by its own parent.Our testing relies on the opposite -- A child
ptrace()ing its parent, which is not allowed until a call is made toprctl()to allow it.
