Can you document the circumstances under which you can call this?

Does it require that you be attached as a tracer?  Does the tracee need to be stopped?  Does it work equivalently if the tracee is ptrace-stopped vs stopped by seccomp?

If the tracee is running and is single-threaded, is the locking correct?
