2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ TASK_STOPPED/TRACED task From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> wake_up_process() should be never used to wakeup a TASK_STOPPED/TRACED task CVE-2013-0871 BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1129192 wake_up_process() should never wakeup a TASK_STOPPED/TRACED task. Change it to use TASK_NORMAL and add the WARN_ON(). TASK_ALL has no other users, probably can be killed.
