// Package ptrace provides a ptrace-based implementation of the platform
// interface. This is useful for development and testing purposes primarily,
// and runs on stock kernels without special permissions.
//
// In a nutshell, it works as follows:
//
// The creation of a new address space creates a new child processes with a
// single thread which is traced by a single goroutine.
//
// A context is just a collection of temporary variables. Calling Switch on a
// context does the following:
//
//	Locks the runtime thread.
//
//	Looks up a traced subprocess thread for the current runtime thread. If
//	none exists, the dedicated goroutine is asked to create a new stopped
//	thread in the subprocess. This stopped subprocess thread is then traced
//	by the current thread and this information is stored for subsequent
//	switches.
//
//	The context is then bound with information about the subprocess thread
//	so that the context may be appropriately interrupted via a signal.
//
//	The requested operation is performed in the traced subprocess thread
//	(e.g. set registers, execute, return).
//
// Lock order:
//
// subprocess.mu
//   context.mu
