NAME

ssdd - have a tracer do a bunch of PTRACE_SINGLESTEPs

SYNOPSIS

ssdd [nforks] [niters]

DESCRIPTION

Have a tracer do a bunch of PTRACE_SINGLESTEPs against a tracee as fast as possible. Create several of these tracer/tracee pairs and see if they can be made to interfere with each other. The tracer waits on each PTRACE_SINGLESTEP with a waitpid(2) and checks that waitpid's return values for correctness.

OPTIONS

nforks number of tracer/tracee pairs to fork off. Default is 10.

niters

number of PTRACE_SINGLESTEP iterations to do before declaring success, for each tracer/ tracee pair set up. Default is 10,000.
