\section1 Debugger Cannot Attach to Running Process on Linux
GDB uses \c ptrace to attach to running processes. Some Linux distributions
do not allow this, which stops all attempts to either directly attach to an
existing process or use the \gui {Run in terminal} option in Qt Creator.
The reasons for this are described in
\l{https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Roadmap/KernelHardening#ptrace%20Protection}{KernelHardening}.
However, the usefulness of this security measure seems dubious,
because this feature can be easily disabled. With root permissions, you can
disable the feature immediately by writing \c{0} into
\c{/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope}. Even if you do not have elevated
permissions, you can disable the feature later by adding a library that
calls \c{prctl(0x59616d61, getppid(), 0, 0, 0);}, such as the one in
\c{$QTCREATORDIR/lib/libptracepreload.so} to the LD_PRELOAD environment.
