/* We only use the linux prctl for now. There is no Win32 support; this may
 * also work on various BSD systems and Mac OS X - send testing feedback!
 *
 * On recent Gnu/Linux kernels it is possible to create a system-wide policy
 * that will prevent non-root processes from attaching to other processes
 * unless they are the parent process; thus gdb can attach to programs that
 * they execute but they cannot attach to other processes running as the same
 * user. The system wide policy may be set with the sysctl
 * kernel.yama.ptrace_scope or by inspecting
 * /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope and it is 1 by default on Ubuntu 11.04.
 *
 * This ptrace scope will be ignored on Gnu/Linux for users with
 * CAP_SYS_PTRACE and so it is very likely that root will still be able to
 * attach to the Tor process.
