Yes, this is indeed what I had in mind. I have not yet had the opportunity
to try out your patch series (sorry), but from visual inspection, it does indeed
do what I wanted, which is to make sure that a tracee stays in
PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT for the tracer to inspect, even if there is another
SIGKILL incoming simultaneously (since otherwise it may be impossible
for the tracer to observe the PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT if two SIGKILLs
come in rapid succession). I will try to take this series for a proper spin
shortly.
