[Bug 1495706] Re: strace cannot attach to process despite being root and setting scope
** Description changed:
I am trying to run `strace` against kworker, but I cannot attach strace
despite havingset ptrace_scope=0 and being root.
Here is the proof:
- # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
root@rasal:/home/me# whoami
root
- root@rasal:/home/me# cat /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
+ root@rasal:/home/me# cat /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
0
root@rasal:/home/me# ps ax | grep kworker

Could not attach to process. If your uid matches the uid of the target
process, check the setting of /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope, or try
again as the root user. For more details, see /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf
