[PATCH 18/19] ptrace: add JOBCTL_BLOCK_NOTIFY

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue May 24 2011 - 14:38:44 EST


For to-be-added notification retraps, other tasks need to be able to
tell whether ptrace request is currently in progress while tracee is
in STOP trap. This patch adds JOBCTL_BLOCK_NOTIFY which is set on
ptrace_check_attach() if the request requires tracee to be trapped and
it's trapped for STOP, and cleared when ptrace syscall finishes.

This flag isn't used yet.

-v2: ptrace_put_task_struct() reorganized per Oleg's comment.
