strace/TODO

-- new entries from wta
* clone doesn't work; cloned processes can hang
* partially done: finish up change_syscall using new setargs
* do setargs for non-ia64
* generate syscallent.h from the kernel sources (asm/unistd.h)
* update linux/sparc syscall entries; Linux messed things up by overriding
  all kinds of SunOS entries
* synchronize linux/**/syscallent.h, number of arguments for a syscal isn't
  consistent across different architectures

-- old entries from jrs
attempt reopen of /proc file if we get EAGAIN from any /proc ioctl
kill procs we error out of on svr4
enclose "total x dents" in a comment
declare gettimeofday and pread for solaris2
update automatic remaking of autoconf targets
I don't like run on last close, change it?
parse long options?
count signals too with -c
treat attach, detach messages like signals
add pread, pwrite to I/O dumping
add system assist for qualifiers on svr4
change printcall to getcaller and fix for linux and svr4
fix fork hang for svr4 without pollable procfs
print events on entry to and revents on exit from poll
monitor procfs open and release the other child if the process wants to own it
fix incorrect syscall number if exit without entry on svr4 without pr_syscall
fix clean targets so config.h and config.status can be removed
ignore faults which occur before exec
look for more ioctls on solaris, used in nslookup for example
consider adding backtrace support
consider adding general purpose interpreter
Update linux sparc support so it compiles and works reasonably 1999-04-19 03:30:29 +04:00			`-- new entries from wta`
README-linux: updated to note that strace might not compile with development kernels bjm.c: sys_query_module: check if malloc succeeds system.c: sys_cap[gs]et(): check if malloc succeeds, only malloc once linux/syscallent.h: updated for 2.3.99pre3 linux/alpha/syscallent.h: updated for 2.3.99pre3, add all osf syscalls even though Linux doesn't implement them syscall.c: add global variables for MIPS registers as well syscall.c: move global variables to before get_scno since that uses them util.c: oops, misspelled defined process.c: fix ptrace calls in change_syscall mem.c: decode sys_madvise Merge patch from Topi Miettinen <Topi.Miettinen@nic.fi> + add support for quotactl, fdatasync, mlock, mlockall, munlockall & acct + small fix for RLIMIT_* and RUSAGE_BOTH + enhace support for capget and capset 2000-04-11 02:22:31 +04:00			`* clone doesn't work; cloned processes can hang`
