Yes. The subtle differences in when __TASK_TRACED and
JOBCTL_DELAY_WAKEKILL are cleared are causing me some minor issues.

This "WARN_ON(!task->ptrace || task->parent != current);" also now
needs to be inside siglock, because the __TASK_TRACED is insufficient.

I think you are right about it being safe, but I am having a hard time
convincing myself that is true. I want to be very careful sending
__TASK_TRACED wake_ups as ptrace_stop fundamentally can't handle
spurious wake_ups.

So I think adding task_is_traced to the test to verify the task
is still frozen.

static void ptrace_unfreeze_traced(struct task_struct *task)
{
unsigned long flags;

/*
* Verify the task is still frozen before unfreezing it,
* ptrace_resume could have unfrozen us.
*/
if (lock_task_sighand(task, &flags)) {
if ((task->jobctl & JOBCTL_DELAY_WAKEKILL) &&
task_is_traced(task)) {
task->jobctl &= ~JOBCTL_DELAY_WAKEKILL;
if (__fatal_signal_pending(task))
wake_up_state(task, __TASK_TRACED);
}
unlock_task_sighand(task, &flags);
}
}

Yes.
