Linus Torvalds 67850b7bdc While looking at the ptrace problems with PREEMPT_RT and the problems 
of Peter Zijlstra was encountering with ptrace in his freezer rewrite
 I identified some cleanups to ptrace_stop that make sense on their own
 and move make resolving the other problems much simpler.
 
 The biggest issue is the habbit of the ptrace code to change task->__state
 from the tracer to suppress TASK_WAKEKILL from waking up the tracee.  No
 other code in the kernel does that and it is straight forward to update
 signal_wake_up and friends to make that unnecessary.
 
 Peter's task freezer sets frozen tasks to a new state TASK_FROZEN and
 then it stores them by calling "wake_up_state(t, TASK_FROZEN)" relying
 on the fact that all stopped states except the special stop states can
 tolerate spurious wake up and recover their state.
 
 The state of stopped and traced tasked is changed to be stored in
 task->jobctl as well as in task->__state.  This makes it possible for
 the freezer to recover tasks in these special states, as well as
 serving as a general cleanup.  With a little more work in that
 direction I believe TASK_STOPPED can learn to tolerate spurious wake
 ups and become an ordinary stop state.
 
 The TASK_TRACED state has to remain a special state as the registers for
 a process are only reliably available when the process is stopped in
 the scheduler.  Fundamentally ptrace needs acess to the saved
 register values of a task.
 
 There are bunch of semi-random ptrace related cleanups that were found
 while looking at these issues.
 
 One cleanup that deserves to be called out is from commit 57b6de08b5
 ("ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs").  This
 makes a change that is technically user space visible, in the handling
 of what happens to a tracee when a tracer dies unexpectedly.
 According to our testing and our understanding of userspace nothing
 cares that spurious SIGTRAPs can be generated in that case.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
