Description Jan Kratochvil 2007-09-27 18:00:19 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #248532 +++

Description of problem:
Behavior change from the upstream.  It affects the method I found out as the
minimal/reliable way to attach unstopped+stopped processes on upstream kernels:
http://www.jankratochvil.net/priv/ver5.txt
* kill(SIGSTOP) the child
* waitid() (waitpid()) on it to catch its SIGSTOP notification
* PTRACE_ATTACH
* tkill(SIGCONT)
* waitpid() - should not hang

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.18-48.el5.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. gcc -o attach-sigcont-wait attach-sigcont-wait.c -Wall -ggdb2
2. ./attach-sigcont-wait

Actual results:
Aborted
(due to a timeout on hung waitpid())

Expected results:
PASS
