 * call back call time all the threads are paused via
 * PTRACE_ATTACH.
 * The callback is executed from a separate thread which shares only the
 * address space, the filesystem, and the filehandles with the caller. Most
 * notably, it does not share the same pid and ppid; and if it terminates,
 * the rest of the application is still there. 'callback' is supposed to do
 * or arrange for ResumeAllProcessThreads. This happens automatically, if
 * the thread raises a synchronous signal (e.g. SIGSEGV); asynchronous
 * signals are blocked. If the 'callback' decides to unblock them, it must
 * ensure that they cannot terminate the application, or that
 * ResumeAllProcessThreads will get called.
 * It is an error for the 'callback' to make any library calls that could
 * acquire locks. Most notably, this means that most system calls have to
 * avoid going through libc. Also, this means that it is not legal to call
 * exit() or abort().
 * We return -1 on error and the return value of 'callback' on success.
