Well. This assumes that the only difference with PTRACE_SEIZE is the
new stop/interrupt behaviour. I am not sure this is "safe" to assume.

Tejun, what do you think?

From the correctness pov, the patch is mostly correct. but you forgot
to update ptrace_init_task(). I bet you didn't try to test the patch ;)

May be ptrace_event_enabled(child, PTRACE_EVENT_STOP) looks better...
The same about other PT_TRACE_STOP checks, although this is cosmetic.


And. Given that you can set/clear PT_TRACE_STOP in ptrace_setoptions(),
you need the locking.

Just for example. do_signal_stop() calls ptrace_trap_notify() and hits
WARN_ON_ONCE(!PT_TRACE_STOP) because it was cleared in between.

Oleg.
