You mean Roland McGrath's utrace?
While incredibly nifty and a long-overdue revamp of the awful ptrace()
interface, utrace hasn't been designed as a security enforcement mechanism
either :)
(however, things like UML are in effect using it as such in any case, so
security-hole-inducing bugs in ptrace() *are* likely to get fixed.)

Sorry, yes. I noticed that first/early patch(es) of it have gone to
2.6.25.

Sounds promising. :-)
