Subject: [PATCH 07/10] signal: use GROUP_STOP_PENDING to stop once for a single group stop
Currently task->signal->group_stop_count is used to decide whether to
stop for group stop. However, if there is a task in the group which
is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by
ptrace would repeatedly stop for the same group stop until the group
stop is complete.
Conversely, if a ptraced task is in TASK_TRACED state, the debugger
won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to
the ptraced task in any other state.
This patch introduces GROUP_STOP_PENDING which tracks whether a task
is yet to stop for the group stop in progress. The flag is set when a
group stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for
the group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should
participate in a group stop needs to be determined. Note that now
tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop.
This results in the following behavior changes.
* For a single group stop, a ptracer would see at most one stop
reported.
* A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the
tracer would get the notification. However, as a ptraced task could
be in TASK_STOPPED state or any ptrace trap could consume group
stop, the notification may still be missing. These will be
addressed with further patches.
* A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if
the tracer let it continue with stop signal delivery. Group stop
code handles this correctly.
Oleg:
* Spotted that a task might skip signal check even when its
GROUP_STOP_PENDING is set. Fixed by updating
recalc_sigpending_tsk() to check GROUP_STOP_PENDING instead of
group_stop_count.
* Pointed out that task->group_stop should be cleared whenever
task->signal->group_stop_count is cleared. Fixed accordingly.
* Pointed out the behavior inconsistency between TASK_TRACED and
RUNNING and the last behavior change.
