so I have to admit that I never even tried to actually understand
ptrace_may_access ;)

We certainly need something that gives a high level view so people
reading the man page can know what to expect.   If you get down into the
weeds we run the danger of people beginning to think they can depend
upon bugs in the implementation.

Personally I agree. I think "man ptrace" shouldn't not tell too much
about kernel internals.

Perhaps Documentation/security/ makes more sense?
