For the 'note' case, a look at the source makes it clear that it has never
been implemented.  The manpage also mentions it:

     note    Used for sending signals to the process.  Not implemented.

For 'ctl', your example is invalid.  At least on my system, process 2 is a
kernel thread.  Try with a real userland process, and note that you cannot
trace yourself (so "echo attach > /proc/$$/ctl" will fail).  For a better
ptrace interface, take a look at the ptrace() syscall.  Use of procfs is
discouraged.
