But why do we need this?
OK, you do not need to convince me, I try to never argue with
new features.
However, I certainly dislike TASK_TRACED in uprobe_wait_traced().
And sleeping in ->handler() is not fair to other consumers.
And I do not think you should modify ptrace_attach() at all.
gdb/user can wakeup the task after PTRACE_ATTACH itself.
Oleg.
