job control: Don't set group_stop exit_code if re-entering job control stop
While ptraced, a task may be resumed while the containing process is still job control stopped. If the task receives another stop signal in this state, it will still initiate group stop, which generates group_exit_code, which the real parent would be able to see once the ptracer detaches. In this scenario, the real parent may see two consecutive CLD_STOPPED events from two stop signals without intervening SIGCONT, which normally is impossible. Test case follows. #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> int main(void) { pid_t tracee; siginfo_t si; tracee = fork(); if (!tracee) while (1) pause(); kill(tracee, SIGSTOP); waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); if (!fork()) { ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL); waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status); waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status); waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, tracee, NULL, NULL); return 0; } while (1) { si.si_pid = 0; waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WNOHANG); if (si.si_pid) printf("st=%02d c=%02d\n", si.si_status, si.si_code); } return 0; } Before the patch, the latter waitid() in polling mode reports the second stopped event generated by the implied SIGSTOP of PTRACE_ATTACH. st=19 c=05 ^C After the patch, the second event is not reported.
