Subject: [PATCH] Fix ptrace self-attach rule
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.14.2~1

[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.
