Subject: signals: tracehook_notify_jctl change
From: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx>
This changes tracehook_notify_jctl() so it's called with the siglock held,
and changes its argument and return value definition. These clean-ups
make it a better fit for what new tracing hooks need to check.
Tracing needs the siglock here, held from the time TASK_STOPPED was set,
to avoid potential SIGCONT races if it wants to allow any blocking in its
tracing hooks.
This also folds the finish_stop() function into its caller
do_signal_stop(). The function is short, called only once and only
unconditionally. It aids readability to fold it in.
