Neither me. Perhaps because I tried this test-case on the minimal system
with /bin/sh running as init process.

This is fine and hopefully confirms the theory. let me quote my previous email:

		line 111    r[8] = syscall(__NR_ptrace, 0x10ul, r[7]);

	this is PTRACE_ATTACH

		line 115        syscall(__NR_ptrace, 0x4200ul, r[7], 0x40000012ul, 0x100012ul);
		
	this is PTRACE_SETOPTIONS and "data" includes PTRACE_O_EXITKILL.

	r[7] is initialized at

		line 110      r[7] = *(uint32_t*)0x20f9cffc;

	so if it is eq to 1 then it can attach to init and in this case the problem
	can be explained by the wrong SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE/SIGKILL logic.

So, if it is eq to 1 then init will be killed after the child process created
by loop() function exits (see PTRACE_O_EXITKILL above).

This is correct, only the warning is not.

For example, this command does ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, 1,0, PTRACE_O_EXITKILL)

	# perl -e 'syscall 101, 0x4206, 1, 0, 0x100000'

and crashes the kernel the same way, this is correct.

Oleg.
