Oleg,
ptrace/utrace performs better with the ptrace-tests [1] testsuite (1 failure vs. 3 with vanilla ptrace [1]). The gdb testsuite also has no regressions. In fact, the results on the gdb testsuite are identical.

[1] http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/tests [2] detach-stopped and stopped-attach-transparency are the additional failures. syscall-reset fails in both cases.
