Re: [patch] Hangs and/or multithreaded process left Stopped (T) on CTRL-C of strace

[Roland M. <ro...@re...>]

That seems right in essence.  Some nits:

For Linux-specific code don't trust <sys/syscall.h> to have everything.
Use <asm/unistd.h> and __NR_foo names.

Current best practice is tgkill, which newer 2.6.x has.  
2.4 does not have tkill, and strace works (probably still) on 2.4.
So, define a function or macro that uses tgkill #ifdef __NR_tgkill,
fall back to tkill #ifdef __NR_tkill, fall back to kill.

Since this issue has a Fedora bugzilla report, note existing ChangeLog
precedent and add "Fixes RH#nnn." at the end of the log entry.


Thanks,
Roland
