Timing differences look improbable. Because before this series /sbin/init always ignored SIGSTOP. Now, ptracer does PTRACE_ATTACH and exits without clearing the pending SIGSTOP. init dequeues this signal and becomes TASK_STOPPED. Consider: $ sleep 1000 & [1] 875 $ grep State: /proc/`pidof sleep`/status State: S (sleeping) $ perl -e 'syscall 101, 16, 0+shift, 0,0' `pidof sleep` # just PTRACE_ATTACH + exit [1]+ Stopped sleep 1000 $ grep State: /proc/`pidof sleep`/status State: T (stopped) This is the "normal" behaviour, afaics the same happens with init now.
