$NetBSD: TODO.ptrace,v 1.1 2016/12/13 09:44:35 kamil Exp $
Items we (currently) plan to finish in the ptrace(2) field:
- merge hardware watchpoint (breakpoint) support with HEAD
- verify ppid of core dump generated with PT_DUMPCORE
it must point to the real parent, not tracer
- adapt OpenBSD regress test (regress/sys/ptrace/ptrace.c) for the ATF context
- add new ptrace(2) calls to lock (suspend) and unlock LWP within a process
- add PT_DUMPCORE tests in the ATF framework
- add ATF tests for PT_WRITE_I and PIOD_WRITE_I - test mprotect restrictions
- add ATF tests for PIOD_READ_AUXV
- document more all MD specific ptrace(2) interfaces
(PT_GETXMMREGS, PT_SETXMMREGS, ...)
- add tests for the procfs interface covering all functions available on the
same level as ptrace(2)
and of course: fix as many bugs as possible.
Features in ELF, DWARF, CTF, DTrace are out of scope of the above list.
