[RFC PATCH 3/3] ptrace: dont send SIGSTOP on auto-attach ifPT_SEIZED

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Fri Jul 08 2011 - 13:16:57 EST


The fake SIGSTOP during attach has numerous problems. PTRACE_SEIZE
is already fine, but we have basically the same problems is SIGSTOP
is sent on auto-attach, the tracer can't know if this signal signal
should be cancelled or not.

Change ptrace_event() to set JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP if the new child is
PT_SEIZED, this triggers the PTRACE_EVENT_STOP report.

Thereafter a PT_SEIZED task can never report the bogus SIGSTOP.

Test-case:

#define PTRACE_SEIZE 0x4206
#define PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL 0x80000000
#define PTRACE_EVENT_STOP 7
#define WEVENT(s) ((s & 0xFF0000) >> 16)

int main(void)
{
int child, grand_child, status;
long message;

child = fork();
if (!child) {
kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
fork();
assert(0);
return 0x23;
}

assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, child, 0,PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL) == 0);
assert(wait(&status) == child);
assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGSTOP);

assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, child, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK) == 0);

assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, child, 0,0) == 0);
assert(waitpid(child, &status, 0) == child);
assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
assert(WEVENT(status) == PTRACE_EVENT_FORK);

assert(ptrace(PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG, child, 0, &message) == 0);
grand_child = message;

assert(waitpid(grand_child, &status, 0) == grand_child);
assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
assert(WEVENT(status) == PTRACE_EVENT_STOP);

kill(child, SIGKILL);
kill(grand_child, SIGKILL);
return 0;
}
