    [PATCH] uml: kill host processes properly · 8e0da470
    Jeff Dike authored
    This patch changes how UML kills ptraced processes in order to be more
    correct in the presence of the ptrace changes in 2.6.9.  It used to be that
    ptrace stopped processes could simply be killed and they would go away.  Now,
    there's a new run state for ptraced processes which doesn't receive signals
    until they are PTRACE_KILLed or PTRACE_CONTinued.  So, this patch kills the
    process, as usual, then PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_CONT.  This is done in
    os_kill_ptrace_process() for use from skas mode, and in tracer() when it
    sees a child process getting a SIGKILL.
