Subject: [patch 3/3] attach-fail-reasons: SELinux deny_ptrace

Hi,

and here is the last bit for new SELinux 'deny_ptrace':
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786878

As even PTRACE_TRACEME fails in such case it needs to install hook for even
that event.


Thanks,
Jan

	* common/linux-ptrace.c [HAVE_SELINUX_SELINUX_H]: include
	selinux/selinux.h.
	(linux_ptrace_attach_warnings): Call linux_ptrace_create_warnings.
	(linux_ptrace_create_warnings): New.
	* common/linux-ptrace.h (linux_ptrace_create_warnings): New declaration.
	* config.in: Regenerate.
	* configure: Regenerate.
	* configure.ac: Check selinux/selinux.h and the selinux library.
	* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_me): Check the ptrace result.
	* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_create_inferior): New variable ex.  Wrap
	to_create_inferior into TRY_CATCH, call linux_ptrace_create_warnings.

gdb/gdbserver/
	* config.in: Regenerate.
	* configure: Regenerate.
	* configure.ac: Check selinux/selinux.h and the selinux library.
	* linux-low.c (linux_traceme): New function.
	(linux_create_inferior, linux_tracefork_child): Call it instead of
	direct ptrace.
