From 082d52c56f642d21b771a13221068d40915a1409 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2005 11:37:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix ptrace self-attach rule Before we did CLONE_THREAD, the way to check whether we were attaching to ourselves was to just check "current == task", but with CLONE_THREAD we should check that the thread group ID matches instead.
