Hello,

Please use (unsigned long).  Also, wouldn't it be better to do the
following instead?

	if (!(flags & PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL))
		goto out;
	flags &= ~PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL;

	if ((flags & ~(unsigned long(PTRACE_O_MASK))))
		goto out;

Then, we can later just delete the first three lines when removing
SEIZE_DEVEL.

Can you please put this in a separate patch?  Hmm... also I think we
probably want to set ->ptrace while holding siglock too.  There are
places which assume ->ptrace is protected by siglock.  We can move
siglock locking above so that both ->ptrace setting and linking are
protected by siglock and use send_signal() instead of send_sig_info()
for the implied SIGSTOP.  Note that __ptrace_unlink() would need
similar update too.

Thank you.
