+
+ Scenario for a standard unstopped inferior:
+ * `S (sleeping)' or `R (running)' or similiar states.
+ * PTRACE_ATTACH is called.
+ * `S (sleeping)' (or similiar) for some while.
+ * `T (tracing stop)'.
+ * WAITPID succeeds here returning SIGSTOP (signalled by PTRACE_ATTACH).
+
+ Scenario for a formerly stopped inferior:
+ * `T (stopped)'.
+ * PTRACE_ATTACH is called.
+ * `T (stopped)' would stay indefinitely
+ Note since this moment the `TracerPid' field gets filled
+ (by PTRACE_ATTACH), it is no longer just the common `T (stopped)' state.
+ * If no one did WAITPID since sending SIGSTOP our WAITPID would return
+ SIGSTOP. The state still would not turn to `T (tracing stop)'.
+ * Usually its original parent (before PTRACE_ATTACH was applied) already
+ did WAITPID. The original parent already received our SIGSTOP
+ sinalled by our PTRACE_ATTACH.
+ In this case our own WAITPID would hang. Therefore...
+ * ... we do artificial: tkill (SIGCONT);
+ `PTRACE_CONT, SIGSTOP' does not work in 100% cases as sometimes SIGSTOP
+ gets remembered by kernel during the first PTRACE_CONT later and we get
+ spurious SIGSTOP event. Expecting the signal may get delivered to
+ a different task of the thread group.
+ `kill_lwp (SIGSTOP)' has no effect in this moment (it is already stopped).
+ * WAITPID returns the artifical SIGCONT.
+ (The possibly pending SIGSTOP gets vanished by specifically SIGCONT.)
+ * State turns `T (tracing stop)'.
+ In this moment everything is almost fine but we need a workaround as final
+ `PTRACE_DETACH, SIGSTOP' would leave the process unstopped otherwise:
+ * tkill (SIGSTOP);
+ * `PTRACE_CONT, 0'
+ * WAITPID returns the artifical SIGSTOP.
+
+ With the pending (unwaited for) SIGSTOP the artifical signal effects are:
+ kill (SIGSTOP)
+ PTRACE_ATTACH
+ /-tkill (SIGCONT), WAITPID: SIGCONT, WAITPID: hang !
+ //-tkill (SIGCONT), WAITPID: SIGCONT, PTRACE_CONT (SIG_0), WAITPID: wait (OK)
+ \\-tkill (SIGALRM), WAITPID: SIGSTOP, WAITPID: hang !
+ \-tkill (SIGALRM), WAITPID: SIGSTOP, PTRACE_CONT (SIG_0), WAITPID: SIGALRM !
+ Therefore we signal artifical SIGCONT and stop waiting after its reception.
+
+ For the detection whether the process was formerly stopped we need to
+ read `/proc/PID/status'. `PTRACE_CONT, SIGSTOP' returns ESRCH
+ for `S (sleeping)' and succeeds for `T (stopped)' but it unfortunately
+ succeeds even for `T (tracing stop)'. Depending on PTRACE_CONT, SIGSTOP
+ success value for formerly stopped processes would mean a race condition
+ as we would get false stopped processes detection if we get too slow.
+
+ `waitid (..., WSTOPPED)' hangs the same way as WAITPID.
+
+ Signals get queued for WAITPID. PTRACE_ATTACH (or TKILL) enqueues SIGSTOP
+ there but WAITPID may return an already pending signal.
+ Redeliver it by PTRACE_CONT, SIGxxx as otherwise it would get lost.
+ Similiar processing is being done in this file by WAIT_LWP. */
