Tejun, I agree it would be better. I did not argue with that.

The question is how this can be implemented. And how much uglifications^W
complications in the core kernel code this needs.

Not sure I understand, but I don't think this can work...

Let me repeat, imo the freezer should be "reliable", it shouldn't stuck
in CGRP_FREEZE state forever if, say, it races with vfork(). And personally
I think this is more important than (very limited) ptrace support.

So I think it too should somehow interact with freezable_schedule/etc.
