wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED doesn't work if a zombie leader is traced by another process
Even if the main thread is dead the process still can stop/continue.
However, if the leader is ptraced wait_consider_task(ptrace => false)
always skips wait_task_stopped/wait_task_continued, so WSTOPPED or
WCONTINUED can never work for the natural parent in this case.
Move the "A zombie ptracee is only visible to its ptracer" check into the
"if (!delay_group_leader(p))" block. ->notask_error is cleared by the
"fall through" code below.
This depends on the previous change, wait_task_stopped/continued must be
avoided if !delay_group_leader() and the tracer is ->real_parent.
Otherwise WSTOPPED|WEXITED could wrongly report "stopped" when the child
is already dead (single-threaded or not). If it is traced by another task
then the "stopped" state is fine until the debugger detaches and reveals a
zombie state.
Stupid test-case:
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
sleep(1); // wait for zombie leader
raise(SIGSTOP);
exit(0x13);
return NULL;
}
int run_child(void)
{
pthread_t thread;
if (!fork()) {
int tracee = getppid();
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, 0,0) == 0);
do
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, 0,0);
while (wait(NULL) > 0);
return 0;
}
sleep(1); // wait for PTRACE_ATTACH
assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0);
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
int main(void)
{
int child, stat;
child = fork();
if (!child)
return run_child();
assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WSTOPPED));
assert(stat == 0x137f);
kill(child, SIGCONT);
assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WCONTINUED));
assert(stat == 0xffff);
assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
assert(stat == 0x1300);
return 0;
}
Without this patch it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED), wait_task_stopped() is
never called.
Note: this doesn't fix all problems with a zombie delay_group_leader(),
WCONTINUED | WEXITED check is not exactly right. debugger can't assume it
will be notified if another thread reaps the whole thread group.
