To be decided. Something like that. Perhaps report_quiesce should go away entirely. One idea is leaving it only for the other cases when not about to resume. Then report_resume would be called when first arriving at "almost back to user mode", with its "action" giving UTRACE_ACTION_QUIESCE if the flag is set. If the UTRACE_ACTION_QUIESCE state flag is still set after those callbacks, then we go into quiescence (TASK_TRACED). When all engines have cleared QUIESCE, we wake up, and run report_resume again with UTRACE_ACTION_RESUME (or with any pending signal ready to be delivered). Or perhaps it's clearer to leave report_quiesce, have only that run before stopping while quiescent, and then run report_resume after waking. (A report_resume callback can always decide to set QUIESCE again.) The benefit of the first idea is that then report_quiesce (if kept at all) means only the "you can stop, but I'm not near user mode" cases. If you want to e.g. look at the user mode registers in their proper form, you need to wait for report_resume. So then if you get report_quiesce before report_resume, it means there may be a delay before the opportunity to get at the registers freely (e.g. it may be safe to read but not write them at report_quiesce).
