Currently, if the task is STOPPED on ptrace attach, it's left alone
and the state is silently changed to TRACED on the next ptrace call.
The behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called
before any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task
manipulates the state of another task directly.
With GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and
TRACED can be made clean. The tracer can use the flag to tell the
tracee to retry stop on attach and detach. On retry, the tracee will
enter the desired state in the correct way. The lower 16bits of
task->group_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused
the last group stop. This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as
the original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by
then.
As the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code
anytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it
can be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop(). This
is recorded in the lower 16bits of task->group_stop.
If a task is already stopped and there's no intervening SIGCONT, a
ptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should
always succeed even if the tracer doesn't wait(2) for attach
completion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be
TASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the
following request to fail with -ESRCH.
This intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait
for it to clear on its signal->wait_chldexit. Completing the
transition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.
Note that the STOPPED -> RUNNING -> TRACED transition is still visible
to other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the
reverse transition is visible to all. Please read the comments for
details.
Oleg:
* Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without
proper bookkeeping. Fixed by redoing bookkeeping on retry.
* Spotted that the transition is visible to userland in several
different ways. Most are fixed with GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING. Unhandled
corner case is documented.
* Pointed out not setting GROUP_STOP_SIGMASK on an already stopped
task would result in more consistent behavior.
* Pointed out that calling ptrace_stop() from do_signal_stop() in
TASK_STOPPED can race with group stop start logic and then confuse
the TRAPPING wait in ptrace_check_attach(). ptrace_stop() is now
called with TASK_RUNNING.
* Suggested using signal->wait_chldexit instead of bit wait.
* Spotted a race condition between TRACED transition and clearing of
TRAPPING.

This wake_up_state() has a turbulent history. This is a remnant from
ancient ptrace implementation and patently wrong. Commit 95a3540d
(ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic) removed
it but the change was reverted later by commit edaba2c5 (ptrace:
revert "ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic")
citing compatibility breakage and general brokeness of the whole group
stop / ptrace interaction. Then, recently, it got converted from
wake_up_process() to wake_up_state() to make it less dangerous.
Digging through the mailing archives, the compatibility breakage
doesn't seem to be critical in the sense that the behavior isn't well
defined or reliable to begin with and it seems to have been agreed to
remove the wakeup with proper cleanup of the whole thing.
Now that the group stop and its interaction with ptrace are being
cleaned up, it's high time to finally kill this silliness.

The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not
interlocked with the tracee state. IOW, the tracee could be running or
sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is
called. This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be
dangerous.
The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its
toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state.
This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector. I don't think it
will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops
somewhere. Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should
be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup
conditions are expected to be interlocked. Although the window of
opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with
some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

exit_ptrace() takes tasklist_lock unconditionally. We need this lock to
avoid the race with ptrace_traceme(), it acts as a barrier.
Change its caller, forget_original_parent(), to call exit_ptrace() under
tasklist_lock. Change exit_ptrace() to drop and reacquire this lock if
needed.
This allows us to add the fastpath list_empty(ptraced) check. In the
likely no-tracees case exit_ptrace() just returns and we avoid the lock()
+ unlock() sequence.

The comment suggests that this usage is stale. There is no bkl in the
exec path so if there is a race lurking there, the bkl in ptrace is
not going to help in this regard.
Overview of the possibility of "accidental" races this bkl might
protect:
- ptrace_traceme() is protected against task removal and concurrent
read/write on current->ptrace as it locks write tasklist_lock.
- arch_ptrace_attach() is serialized by ptrace_traceme() against
concurrent PTRACE_TRACEME or PTRACE_ATTACH
- ptrace_attach() is protected the same way ptrace_traceme() and
in turn serializes arch_ptrace_attach()
- ptrace_check_attach() does its own well described serializing too.
There is no obvious race here.

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in

It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility

Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts

much simpler approach.

The bug is old, it wasn't cause by recent changes.
Test case:
static void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
int pid = (long)arg;
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL) == 0);
kill(pid, SIGKILL);
sleep(1);
return NULL;

pthread_t th;
long pid = fork();

Before the patch this program hangs, after this patch waitpid() correctly
fails with errno == -ECHILD.
The problem is, __ptrace_detach() reaps the EXIT_ZOMBIE tracee if its
->real_parent is our sub-thread and we ignore SIGCHLD. But in this case
we should wake up other threads which can sleep in do_wait().

Remove the "Nasty, nasty" lock dance in ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme() -
from now task_lock() has nothing to do with ptrace at all.
With the recent changes nobody uses task_lock() to serialize with ptrace,
but in fact it was never needed and it was never used consistently.
However ptrace_attach() calls __ptrace_may_access() and needs task_lock()
to pin task->mm for get_dumpable(). But we can call __ptrace_may_access()
before we take tasklist_lock, ->cred_exec_mutex protects us against
do_execve() path which can change creds and MMF_DUMP* flags.
(ugly, but we can't use ptrace_may_access() because it hides the error
code, so we have to take task_lock() and use __ptrace_may_access()).
NOTE: this change assumes that LSM hooks, security_ptrace_may_access() and
security_ptrace_traceme(), can be called without task_lock() held.

Commit 95a3540da9 ("ptrace_detach: the wrong
wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic") removed the "extra"
wake_up_process() from ptrace_detach(), but as Jan pointed out this breaks
the compatibility.
I believe the changelog is right and this wake_up() is wrong in many
ways, but GDB assumes that ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, child, 0, 0) always
wakes up the tracee.
Despite the fact this breaks SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED/group_stop_count logic,
and despite the fact this wake_up_process() can break another
assumption: PTRACE_DETACH with SIGSTOP should leave the tracee in
TASK_STOPPED case. Because the untraced child can dequeue SIGSTOP and
call do_signal_stop() before ptrace_detach() calls wake_up_process().
Revert this change for now. We need some fixes even if we we want to keep
the current behaviour, but these fixes are not for 2.6.30.

Since that patch we have a window after exit_ptrace() drops tasklist and
before forget_original_parent() takes it again. In this window the child
can do ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) and nobody can untrace this child after
that.
Change ptrace_traceme() to not attach to the exiting ->real_parent. We
don't report the error in this case, we pretend we attach right before
->real_parent calls exit_ptrace() which should untrace us anyway.

Another ancient bug. Consider this trivial test-case,
int main(void)
{
int pid = fork();
if (pid) {
ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
wait(NULL);
ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
} else {
pause();
printf("WE HAVE A KERNEL BUG!!!\n");
}
return 0;
}
the child must not "escape" for sys_pause(), but it can and this was seen
in practice.
This is because ptrace_detach does:
if (!child->exit_state)
wake_up_process(child);
this wakeup can happen after this child has already restarted sys_pause(),
because it gets another wakeup from ptrace_untrace().
With or without this patch, perhaps sys_pause() needs a fix. But this
wakeup also breaks the SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED logic in ptrace_untrace().
Remove this wakeup. The caller saw this task in TASK_TRACED state, and
unless it was SIGKILL'ed in between __ptrace_unlink()->ptrace_untrace()
should handle this case correctly. If it was SIGKILL'ed, we don't need to
wakup the dying tracee too.

By discussion with Roland.
- Rename ptrace_exit() to exit_ptrace(), and change it to do all the
necessary work with ->ptraced list by its own.
- Move this code from exit.c to ptrace.c
- Update the comment in ptrace_detach() to explain the rechecking of
the child->ptrace.

When ptrace_detach() takes tasklist, the tracee can be SIGKILL'ed. If it
has already passed exit_notify() we can leak a zombie, because a) ptracing
disables the auto-reaping logic, and b) ->real_parent was not notified
about the child's death.
ptrace_detach() should follow the ptrace_exit's logic, change the code
accordingly.

Move the code from __ptrace_detach() to its single caller and kill this
helper.
Also, fix the ->exit_state check, we shouldn't wake up EXIT_DEAD tasks.
Actually, I think task_is_stopped_or_traced() makes more sense, but this
needs another patch.

Impact: cleanup
Obviously, this goto is useless. Remove it.

* 'tracing-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (241 commits)
sched, trace: update trace_sched_wakeup()
tracing/ftrace: don't trace on early stage of a secondary cpu boot, v3
Revert "x86: disable X86_PTRACE_BTS"
ring-buffer: prevent false positive warning
ring-buffer: fix dangling commit race
ftrace: enable format arguments checking
x86, bts: memory accounting
x86, bts: add fork and exit handling
ftrace: introduce tracing_reset_online_cpus() helper
tracing: fix warnings in kernel/trace/trace_sched_switch.c
tracing: fix warning in kernel/trace/trace.c
tracing/ring-buffer: remove unused ring_buffer size
trace: fix task state printout
ftrace: add not to regex on filtering functions
trace: better use of stack_trace_enabled for boot up code
trace: add a way to enable or disable the stack tracer
x86: entry_64 - introduce FTRACE_ frame macro v2
tracing/ftrace: add the printk-msg-only option
tracing/ftrace: use preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace in ring_buffer_time_stamp()
x86, bts: correctly report invalid bts records
...
Fixed up trivial conflict in scripts/recordmcount.pl due to SH bits
being already partly merged by the SH merge.
Impact: introduce new ptrace facility
Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer
detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies);
ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach.
Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a
traced task is forked.
Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork.
Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This
releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do
that when the traced task dies.

All architectures now use the generic compat_sys_ptrace, as should every
new architecture that needs 32bit compat (if we'll ever get another).
Remove the now superflous __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE define, and also
kill a comment about __ARCH_SYS_PTRACE that was added after
__ARCH_SYS_PTRACE was already gone.
