So. what do you think about the patch below?

If it can work, then 1/5 needs some changes, I think. In particular,
it should not introduce JOBCTL_TRACED_FROZEN until 5/5, and perhaps
we can avoid this flag altogether...

This is how ptrace_check_attach() looks with the patch applied:

	static int ptrace_check_attach(struct task_struct *child, bool ignore_state)
	{
		int traced;
		/*
		 * We take the read lock around doing both checks to close a
		 * possible race where someone else attaches or detaches our
		 * natural child.
		 */
		read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
		traced = child->ptrace && child->parent == current;
		read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);

		if (!traced)
			return -ESRCH;

		WARN_ON(READ_ONCE(child->__state) == __TASK_TRACED);
		if (ignore_state)
			return 0;

		for (;;) {
			if (fatal_signal_pending(current))
				return -EINTR;
			set_current_state(TASK_KILLABLE);
			if (!(READ_ONCE(child->jobctl) & JOBCTL_TRACED)) {
				__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
				break;
			}
			schedule();
		}

		if (!wait_task_inactive(child, TASK_TRACED) ||
		    !ptrace_freeze_traced(child))
			return -ESRCH;

		return 0;
	}

Oleg.
