            Bug ID: 16245
           Summary: Typo in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/ptrace.h.
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.19
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: carlos at redhat dot com

In sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/ptrace.h the constant PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP is
incorrectly spelled as PTRAVE_EVENT_SECCOMP with a "V" instead of a "C".

This results in user code not compiling correctly when going from using the
Linux kernel header linux/ptrace.h to using the glibc header sys/ptrace.h or
when trying to use PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP.

There is no ABI issue in renaming the event since old applications continue to
work.

Compiling new applications will reuqire you to use the right name e.g. you can
no longer use PTRAVE_EVENT_SECCOMP.

    Fix typo in sys/ptrace.h.

    The event code is PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP, not PTRAVE_EVENT_SECCOMP.
    This patch fixes the V->C typo. There are no ABI issues since the
    number remains the same for the code. Code using the old wrong
    name will need to be updated.
