[PATCH 8/8] job control: Don't send duplicate job control stop notification while ptraced

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

Just as group_exit_code shouldn't be generated when a PTRACE_CONT'd
task re-enters job control stop, notifiction for the event should be
suppressed too.  The logic is the same as the group_exit_code
generation suppression in do_signal_stop(), if SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED is
already set, the task is re-entering job control stop without
intervening SIGCONT and the notifications should be suppressed.

Test case follows.

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <signal.h>
  #include <time.h>
  #include <sys/ptrace.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>

  static const struct timespec ts100ms = { .tv_nsec = 100000000 };
  static pid_t tracee, tracer;

  static const char *pid_who(pid_t pid)
  {
	  return pid == tracee ? "tracee" : (pid == tracer ? "tracer" : "mommy ");
  }

  static void sigchld_sigaction(int signo, siginfo_t *si, void *ucxt)
  {
	  printf("%s: SIG status=%02d code=%02d (%s)\n",
		 pid_who(getpid()), si->si_status, si->si_code,
		 pid_who(si->si_pid));
  }

  int main(void)
  {
	  const struct sigaction chld_sa = { .sa_sigaction = sigchld_sigaction,
					     .sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO|SA_RESTART };
	  siginfo_t si;

	  sigaction(SIGCHLD, &chld_sa, NULL);

	  tracee = fork();
	  if (!tracee) {
		  tracee = getpid();
		  while (1)
			  pause();
	  }

	  kill(tracee, SIGSTOP);
	  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);

	  tracer = fork();
	  if (!tracer) {
		  tracer = getpid();
		  ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
		  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status);
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
		  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status);
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
		  printf("tracer: detaching\n");
		  ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);
		  return 0;
	  }

	  while (1)
		  pause();
	  return 0;
  }

Before the patch, the parent gets the second notification for the
tracee after the tracer detaches.  si_status is zero because
group_exit_code is not set by the group stop completion which
triggered this notification.

  mommy : SIG status=19 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=00 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=19 code=04 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=00 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: detaching
  mommy : SIG status=00 code=05 (tracee)
  mommy : SIG status=00 code=01 (tracer)
  ^C

After the patch, the duplicate notification is gone.

  mommy : SIG status=19 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=00 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=19 code=04 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=00 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: detaching
  mommy : SIG status=00 code=01 (tracer)
  ^C
