Well, PTRACE_KILL doesn't necessarily kill the tracee. Only if the
tracee reported the signal or syscall, otherwise ->exit_code is
ignored.

OTOH I agree, probably the flag clearing on PTRACE_KILL doesn't
really matter beause PTRACE_KILL shouldn't be used at all.


The whole series looks "obviously good" to me, but of course
this is up to arch maintaners.
