+ syscalls using the Linux kernel's explicit facilities for tracing
+ creation of threads and child processes.
+ * Implemented CLONE_PARENT and CLONE_UNTRACED flags handling.
+ * Implemented decoding of TLS syscalls on m68k.
+ * Implemented biarch support on powerpc64.
+ * Implemented biarch support for getrlimit() and setrlimit().
+ * Implemented decoding of struct ucred in getsockopt SO_PEERCRED.
+ * Implemented SOL_SCTP socket options decoding.
+ * Added HDIO_* ioctl names.
+ (Addresses Debian bug #450953).
+ * Added LOOP_* ioctl names.
+ * Updated lists of CLOCK_*, CLONE_*, MS_*, and SOL_* constants
+ to match Linux 2.6.37.
+ * Updated the list of IPPROTO_* constants to match netinet/in.h.
+ * Implemented decoding of HDIO_* and BLK* ioctls.
+ * Added MicroBlaze architecture support.
+ * Added new syscall entries to match Linux 2.6.37.
+ * Regenerated list of ioctl names from Linux 2.6.37.
+ * Enhanced signal notification decoding.
+ * Documented -C and -D options.

+ * Fixed an error when judging whether a process has children.
+ * Fixed get/set_robust_list syscall numbers for powerpc.
+ * Fixed a corner case in printing clone flags.
+ * Fixed cross-compiling issues.
+ * Fixed build issues on powerpc64, SH and SPARC.
+ * Fixed syscall flags of fstatat*, mmap, mmap2, fadvise64*, swapoff,
+ fgetxattr, flistxattr, fremovexattr, epoll_create, fallocate,
+ fanotify_init, and fanotify_mark syscalls.
+ * Fixed decoding of get[ug]id, gete[ug]id and setfs[ug]id return values.
+ * Fixed biarch support in IO dumping.
+ * Fixed raw exit_group decoding.
+ * Fixed decoding of file descriptors on 64-bit architectures.
+ * Fixed a corner case in waitpid handling.
