ptrace: __ptrace_detach: do __wake_up_parent() if we reap the tracee
The bug is old, it wasn't cause by recent changes.
Test case:
static void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
int pid = (long)arg;
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL) == 0);
kill(pid, SIGKILL);
sleep(1);
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t th;
long pid = fork();
if (!pid)
pause();
signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);
assert(pthread_create(&th, NULL, tfunc, (void*)pid) == 0);
int r = waitpid(-1, NULL, __WNOTHREAD);
printf("waitpid: %d %m\n", r);
return 0;
}
Before the patch this program hangs, after this patch waitpid() correctly
fails with errno == -ECHILD.
The problem is, __ptrace_detach() reaps the EXIT_ZOMBIE tracee if its
->real_parent is our sub-thread and we ignore SIGCHLD. But in this case
we should wake up other threads which can sleep in do_wait().
