From 4ef892a0a92e340e4f77ad4db4a88740a1e46b27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2003 08:48:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Report detached thread exit to the debugger From: Daniel Jacobowitz Right now, CLONE_DETACHED threads silently vanish from GDB's sight when they exit. This patch lets the thread report its exit to the debugger, and then be auto-reaped as soon as it is collected, instead of being reaped as soon as it exits and not reported at all. GDB works either way, but this is more correct and will be useful for some later GDB patches. --- kernel/exit.c | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/exit.c b/kernel/exit.c index 367854d246ef..2f090213e481 100644 --- a/kernel/exit.c +++ b/kernel/exit.c @@ -651,6 +651,8 @@ static void exit_notify(struct task_struct *tsk) if (tsk->exit_signal != -1) { int signal = tsk->parent == tsk->real_parent ? tsk->exit_signal : SIGCHLD; do_notify_parent(tsk, signal); + } else if (tsk->ptrace) { + do_notify_parent(tsk, SIGCHLD); } tsk->state = TASK_ZOMBIE; @@ -715,7 +717,7 @@ NORET_TYPE void do_exit(long code) tsk->exit_code = code; exit_notify(tsk); - if (tsk->exit_signal == -1) + if (tsk->exit_signal == -1 && tsk->ptrace == 0) release_task(tsk); schedule(); @@ -859,7 +861,7 @@ static int wait_task_zombie(task_t *p, unsigned int *stat_addr, struct rusage *r BUG_ON(state != TASK_DEAD); return 0; } - if (unlikely(p->exit_signal == -1)) + if (unlikely(p->exit_signal == -1 && p->ptrace == 0)) /* * This can only happen in a race with a ptraced thread * dying on another processor. @@ -889,8 +891,12 @@ static int wait_task_zombie(task_t *p, unsigned int *stat_addr, struct rusage *r /* Double-check with lock held. */ if (p->real_parent != p->parent) { __ptrace_unlink(p); - do_notify_parent(p, p->exit_signal); p->state = TASK_ZOMBIE; + /* If this is a detached thread, this is where it goes away. */ + if (p->exit_signal == -1) + release_task (p); + else + do_notify_parent(p, p->exit_signal); p = NULL; } write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock); -- cgit v1.2.3
