This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
ptrace: introduce signal_wake_up_state() and ptrace_signal_wake_up()
to the 3.0-stable tree which can be found at:

Subject: ptrace: introduce signal_wake_up_state() and ptrace_signal_wake_up()
To: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Message-ID: <1361282213-17268-1-git-send-email-mhocko@xxxxxxx>
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Upstream commit 910ffdb18a6408e14febbb6e4b6840fd2c928c82.
Cleanup and preparation for the next change.
signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers
actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the
necessary mask.
Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce
signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up()
which adds __TASK_TRACED.
This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request()
even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.
