Okay, now it fails later.
UML needs to cancel  syscalls on the host side, it does so by turning them into a getpid() which has no side
effects and, on non-ancient systems, by using PTRACE_SYSEMU.
Let's figure whether they support PTRACE_SYSEMU, can you test the attached patch?

Also please test segv1.c, it tests whether WSL allows us to handle page faults in userspace.
It should output this:
SIGSEGV at 0xdeadbeef, fixing up
x=3, &x=0xdeadbeef

IOW we write to 0xdeadbeef, catch the fault and fix it.

Thanks,
