Yes, but please see below.

Yes.

Actually I am not saying this (at least now, probably I did).

Once again. We have the bug with arch_ptrace_stop_needed(), but lets
ignore it to simplify the discussion.

Suppose that the tracee calls do_signal_stop() and participates in the
group stop. To me, it doesn't really matter (in the context of this
discussion) if it stops in TASK_STOPPED or TASK_TRACED (and where it
stops).

However, I am starting to agree that TASK_TRACED looks more clean.

What is important, I think ptrace should respect SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED.
IOW, when the tracee is group-stopped (TASK_STOPPED or TASK_TRACED,
doesn't matter), ptrace_resume() should not wake it up, but merely
do set_task_state(TASK_STATE) and make it resumeable by SIGCONT.

Oleg.
