3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <o...@redhat.com> 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.
