ptrace: mv send-SIGSTOP from do_fork() to ptrace_init_task()
If the new child is traced, do_fork() adds the pending SIGSTOP. It assumes that either it is traced because of auto-attach or the tracer attached later, in both cases sigaddset/set_thread_flag is correct even if SIGSTOP is already pending. Now that we have PTRACE_SEIZE this is no longer right in the latter case. If the tracer does PTRACE_SEIZE after copy_process() makes the child visible the queued SIGSTOP is wrong. We could check PT_SEIZED bit and change ptrace_attach() to set both PT_PTRACED and PT_SEIZED bits simultaneously but see the next patch, we need to know whether this child was auto-attached or not anyway. So this patch simply moves this code to ptrace_init_task(), this way we can never race with ptrace_attach(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
