[PATCH 16/17] ptrace: implement TRAP_NOTIFY and use it for group stop events

[Tejun Heo]

Currently there's no way for ptracer to find out whether group stop
finished other than polling with INTERRUPT - GETSIGINFO - CONT
sequence This patch implements group stop notification for ptracer
using STOP traps.

When group stop state of a seized tracee changes, JOBCTL_TRAP_NOTIFY
is set, which schedules a STOP trap which is sticky - it isn't cleared
by other traps and at least one STOP trap will happen eventually.
STOP trap is synchronization point for event notification and ptracer
is required to fetch group stop information with PTRACE_GETSIGINFO on
each STOP trap if it intends to keep track of group stop changes.

Notifications are generated both on start and end of group stops but,
because group stop participation always happens before STOP trap, this
doesn't cause an extra trap while tracee is participating in group
stop.  The symmetry will be useful later.

Note that this notification works iff tracee is not trapped.
Currently there is no way to be notified of group stop state changes
while tracee is trapped.  This will be addressed by a later patch.

An example program follows.

  #define PTRACE_SEIZE		0x4206
  #define PTRACE_INTERRUPT	0x4207

  #define PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL	0x80000000

  static const struct timespec ts1s = { .tv_sec = 1 };

  int main(int argc, char **argv)
  {
	  pid_t tracee, tracer;
	  int i;

	  tracee = fork();
	  if (!tracee)
		  while (1)
			  pause();

	  tracer = fork();
	  if (!tracer) {
		  int stopped;
		  siginfo_t si;

		  ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tracee, NULL,
			 (void *)(unsigned long)PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL);
		  ptrace(PTRACE_INTERRUPT, tracee, NULL, NULL);
	  repeat:
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, NULL, WSTOPPED);

		  ptrace(PTRACE_GETSIGINFO, tracee, NULL, &si);
		  if (!si.si_code) {
			  printf("tracer: SIG %d\n", si.si_signo);
			  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL,
				 (void *)(unsigned long)si.si_signo);
			  goto repeat;
		  }
		  stopped = !!si.si_status;
		  printf("tracer: stopped=%d signo=%d\n", stopped, si.si_signo);
		  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, NULL);
		  goto repeat;
	  }

	  for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
		  nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
		  printf("mother: SIGSTOP\n");
		  kill(tracee, SIGSTOP);
		  nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
		  printf("mother: SIGCONT\n");
		  kill(tracee, SIGCONT);
	  }
	  nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);

	  kill(tracer, SIGKILL);
	  kill(tracee, SIGKILL);
	  return 0;
  }

In the above program, tracer keeps tracee running and gets
notification of each group stop state changes.

  # ./test-notify
  tracer: stopped=0 signo=5
  mother: SIGSTOP
  tracer: SIG 19
  tracer: stopped=1 signo=19
  mother: SIGCONT
  tracer: stopped=0 signo=5
  tracer: SIG 18
  mother: SIGSTOP
  tracer: SIG 19
  tracer: stopped=1 signo=19
  mother: SIGCONT
  tracer: stopped=0 signo=5
  tracer: SIG 18
  mother: SIGSTOP
  tracer: SIG 19
  tracer: stopped=1 signo=19
  mother: SIGCONT
  tracer: stopped=0 signo=5
  tracer: SIG 18
