| |
kill(..., SIGKILL) doesn't work to kill host-OS processes created in the exec path in TT mode --- for this we need PTRACE_KILL (it did work in previous kernels, but not by design). Without this process will accumulate on the host-OS (although the won't be visible inside UML).
Signed-off-by: Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org> ---
Yes, there are other fixes along these lines which are needed but one at a time as we test these...
