Please review this patch to add a better error message to SA when it fails to attach to a process on linux. Currently the error says "Can't attach to the process”. After this change the message will look something like: "Can't attach to the process: ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, ..) failed for 28417: Operation not permitted”
