Note that you can verify whether PTRACE_PEEKUSR_AREA has returned
the expected result by comparing registers with those returned
by PTRACE_GETREGSET.  The latter is implemented on s390 since
linux 2.6.27 so its use in glibc is safe.

Okay. Now the gprs are obtained by PTRACE_PEEKUSR_AREA and
PTRACE_GETREGSET. Afterwards I use memcmp to check whether the values
are the same.

As these ptrace calls are expected to succeed,
you might want to check their return code.

Done with several usages of TEST_VERIFY_EXIT.

Likewise.

I've attached the patch with the mentioned changes and the NEWS entry
requested by Andreas.

Is this okay?

Looks fine, thanks.


Committed.

Thanks.
Stefan
