(Internal git) Commit c31d1f3f363a5c3b6dbd4d6daa36fa0f4273e948 "a64: fix deadlock in ia64 sysptrace" moved ptracecheckattach() from findthreadforaddr() to tasklist-is-not-held area. However it introduced other problems.

In the likely case, when rbschild == child, ptracecheckattach() is never called. Otherwise we do ptracecheckattach(rbschild) twice. This means that any peek/poke request can silently fail and fool the tracer.

With this patch the logic is ptracecheckattach(child);

if (rbschild != child) { // we should use rbschild ... if (!ptracecheckattach(rbschild)) child = rbschild;

// but if checkattach() fails we continue to // use child, we are doing as well as we can. }

To simplify the error-handling and the logic, this patch changes the code to detect the likely rbschild == child case earlier, right after findthreadforaddr().

This only affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
