    Synchronous breakpoints make sure to keep a ptrace-stepped thread
    synchronized with its siblings from the same process running in the
    background, as follows:
    
    - as soon as a ptracer (e.g. gdb) regains control over a thread which
      just hit a breakpoint or received SIGINT, sibling threads from the
      same process which run out-of-band are immediately frozen.
    
    - all sibling threads which have been frozen are set to wait on a
      common barrier before they can be released. Such release happens
      once all of them have joined the barrier in out-of-band context,
      after the (single-)stepped thread resumed.
