PTRACE_TRAP_NOTIFY(9) Driver Basics PTRACE_TRAP_NOTIFY(9)NAMEptrace_trap_notify - schedule trap to notify ptracer
SYNOPSIS
void ptrace_trap_notify(struct task_struct * t);
ARGUMENTS
t
tracee wanting to notify tracer
DESCRIPTION
This function schedules sticky ptrace trap which is cleared on the next
TRAP_STOP to notify ptracer of an event. t must have been seized by
ptracer.
If t is running, STOP trap will be taken. If trapped for STOP and
ptracer is listening for events, tracee is woken up so that it can
re-trap for the new event. If trapped otherwise, STOP trap will be
eventually taken without returning to userland after the existing traps
are finished by PTRACE_CONT.
CONTEXT
Must be called with task->sighand->siglock held.
