New Revision: 326953
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/326953

Log:
  Catch up to r325719 which makes the kern.proc.pid sysctl "work" for zombies.
  
  Some of the ptrace tests need to wait for a child process to become a
  zombie before preceding.  The parent process polls the child process
  via the kern.proc.pid sysctl to wait for it to become a zombie.
  Previously the code polled until the sysctl failed with ESRCH.  Now it
  will poll until either the sysctl fails with ESRCH (for compatiblity
  with older kernels) or returns a kinfo_proc structure with the ki_stat
  field set to SZOMB.
