Subject: [PATCH 0/1] ptrace: fix ptrace_signal() && STOP_DEQUEUED interaction
Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2011 21:03:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110707190301.GA25332@redhat.com> (raw)

Another very annoying and ancient problem which needs the fix,
and any fix obviously adds the subtle user-visible changes.

In short, in general it is simply impossible to know whether
PTRACE_CONT(SIGSTOP) will stop the tracee or not.

ee77f075 "signal: Turn SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED into GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED"
makes the things better, at least STOP_DEQUEUED can't be set/cleared
by another thread, but still without this patch the behavior is not
clearly defined.

Oleg.
