ptrace: add ability to get/set signal-blocked mask
crtools uses a parasite code for dumping processes. The parasite code is
injected into a process with help PTRACE_SEIZE.
Currently crtools blocks signals from a parasite code. If a process has
pending signals, crtools wait while a process handles these signals.
This method is not suitable for stopped tasks. A stopped task can have a
few pending signals, when we will try to execute a parasite code, we will
need to drop SIGSTOP, but all other signals must remain pending, because a
state of processes must not be changed during checkpointing.
This patch adds two ptrace commands to set/get signal-blocked mask.
I think gdb can use this commands too.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: be consistent with brace layout]
