2017-03-02sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to ↵Ingo Molnar
<linux/sched/signal.h> We are going to split <linux/sched/signal.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/signal.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

2016-11-22ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mmEric W. Biederman
It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only executables. As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing began to read the target processes mm. In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls. This bug has always existed in Linux.

2016-11-22ptrace: Capture the ptracer's creds not PT_PTRACE_CAPEric W. Biederman
When the flag PT_PTRACE_CAP was added the PTRACE_TRACEME path was overlooked. This can result in incorrect behavior when an application like strace traces an exec of a setuid executable. Further PT_PTRACE_CAP does not have enough information for making good security decisions as it does not report which user namespace the capability is in. This has already allowed one mistake through insufficient granulariy. I found this issue when I was testing another corner case of exec and discovered that I could not get strace to set PT_PTRACE_CAP even when running strace as root with a full set of caps. This change fixes the above issue with strace allowing stracing as root a setuid executable without disabling setuid. More fundamentaly this change allows what is allowable at all times, by using the correct information in it's decision.

2016-01-20ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checksJann Horn
By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its credentials. To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set. The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass. While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs. In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely on ptrace access checks: /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in this scenario: lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar drwx------ root root /root drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).

2015-07-15seccomp: add ptrace options for suspend/resumeTycho Andersen
This patch is the first step in enabling checkpoint/restore of processes with seccomp enabled. One of the things CRIU does while dumping tasks is inject code into them via ptrace to collect information that is only available to the process itself. However, if we are in a seccomp mode where these processes are prohibited from making these syscalls, then what CRIU does kills the task. This patch adds a new ptrace option, PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP, that enables a task from the init user namespace which has CAP_SYS_ADMIN and no seccomp filters to disable (and re-enable) seccomp filters for another task so that they can be successfully dumped (and restored). We restrict the set of processes that can disable seccomp through ptrace because although today ptrace can be used to bypass seccomp, there is some discussion of closing this loophole in the future and we would like this patch to not depend on that behavior and be future proofed for when it is removed. Note that seccomp can be suspended before any filters are actually installed; this behavior is useful on criu restore, so that we can suspend seccomp, restore the filters, unmap our restore code from the restored process' address space, and then resume the task by detaching and have the filters resumed as well. v2 changes: * require that the tracer have no seccomp filters installed * drop TIF_NOTSC manipulation from the patch * change from ptrace command to a ptrace option and use this ptrace option as the flag to check. This means that as soon as the tracer detaches/dies, seccomp is re-enabled and as a corrollary that one can not disable seccomp across PTRACE_ATTACHs. v3 changes: * get rid of various #ifdefs everywhere * report more sensible errors when PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP is incorrectly used v4 changes: * get rid of may_suspend_seccomp() in favor of a capable() check in ptrace directly v5 changes: * check that seccomp is not enabled (or suspended) on the tracer Signed-off-by: Tycho Andersen <tycho.andersen@canonical.com> CC: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> CC: Roland McGrath <roland@hack.frob.com> CC: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> CC: Serge E.

2014-07-03ptrace,x86: force IRET path after a ptrace_stop()Tejun Heo
The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values. That is very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'. Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which always returns with an iret. However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to return to user space using 'sysret'. Otherwise the modifications that may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't necessarily take effect. Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().

2014-06-06ptrace: fix fork event messages across pid namespacesMatthew Dempsky
When tracing a process in another pid namespace, it's important for fork event messages to contain the child's pid as seen from the tracer's pid namespace, not the parent's. Otherwise, the tracer won't be able to correlate the fork event with later SIGTRAP signals it receives from the child. We still risk a race condition if a ptracer from a different pid namespace attaches after we compute the pid_t value. However, sending a bogus fork event message in this unlikely scenario is still a vast improvement over the status quo where we always send bogus fork event messages to debuggers in a different pid namespace than the forking process.

2012-12-17ptrace: introduce PTRACE_O_EXITKILLOleg Nesterov
Ptrace jailers want to be sure that the tracee can never escape from the control. However if the tracer dies unexpectedly the tracee continues to run in potentially unsafe mode. Add the new ptrace option PTRACE_O_EXITKILL. If the tracer exits it sends SIGKILL to every tracee which has this bit set. Note that the new option is not equal to the last-option << 1. Because currently all options have an event, and the new one starts the eventless group. It uses the random 20 bit, so we have the room for 12 more events, but we can also add the new eventless options below this one. Suggested by Amnon Shiloh.

Always equal to task_pt_regs(current); defined only when we are in signal delivery. It may be different from current_pt_regs() - e.g. architectures like m68k may have pt_regs location on exception different from that on a syscall and signals (just as ptrace handling) may happen on exceptions as well as on syscalls. When they are equal, it's often better to have signal_pt_regs defined (in asm/ptrace.h) as current_pt_regs - that tends to be optimized better than default would be. However, optimisation is the only reason why we might want an arch-specific definition; if current_pt_regs() and task_pt_regs(current) have different values, the latter one is right.

Normally (and that's the default) it's just task_pt_regs(current). However, if an architecture can optimize that, it can do so by making a macro of its own available from asm/ptrace.h. More importantly, some architectures have task_pt_regs() working only for traced tasks blocked on signal delivery. current_pt_regs() needs to work for *all* processes, so before those architectures start using stuff relying on current_pt_regs() they'll need a properly working variant.

This change adds support for a new ptrace option, PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP, and a new return value for seccomp BPF programs, SECCOMP_RET_TRACE. When a tracer specifies the PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP ptrace option, the tracer will be notified, via PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP, for any syscall that results in a BPF program returning SECCOMP_RET_TRACE. The 16-bit SECCOMP_RET_DATA mask of the BPF program return value will be passed as the ptrace_message and may be retrieved using PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG. If the subordinate process is not using seccomp filter, then no system call notifications will occur even if the option is specified. If there is no tracer with PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP when SECCOMP_RET_TRACE is returned, the system call will not be executed and an -ENOSYS errno will be returned to userspace. This change adds a dependency on the system call slow path. Any future efforts to use the system call fast path for seccomp filter will need to address this restriction.

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just expecting it to be implicitly present. We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have been causing compile failures/warnings.

2012-01-17Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.hEric Paris
The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

2012-01-05ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/statEric Paris
Reading /proc/pid/stat of another process checks if one has ptrace permissions on that process. If one does have permissions it outputs some data about the process which might have security and attack implications. If the current task does not have ptrace permissions the read still works, but those fields are filled with inocuous (0) values. Since this check and a subsequent denial is not a violation of the security policy we should not audit such denials. This can be quite useful to removing ptrace broadly across a system without flooding the logs when ps is run or something which harmlessly walks proc.

2011-07-17ptrace: dont send SIGSTOP on auto-attach if PT_SEIZEDOleg Nesterov
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; } Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2011-07-17ptrace: mv send-SIGSTOP from do_fork() to ptrace_init_task()Oleg Nesterov
If the new child is traced, do_fork() adds the pending SIGSTOP. It assumes that either it is traced because of auto-attach or the tracer attached later, in both cases sigaddset/set_thread_flag is correct even if SIGSTOP is already pending. Now that we have PTRACE_SEIZE this is no longer right in the latter case. If the tracer does PTRACE_SEIZE after copy_process() makes the child visible the queued SIGSTOP is wrong. We could check PT_SEIZED bit and change ptrace_attach() to set both PT_PTRACED and PT_SEIZED bits simultaneously but see the next patch, we need to know whether this child was auto-attached or not anyway. So this patch simply moves this code to ptrace_init_task(), this way we can never race with ptrace_attach(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2011-07-17ptrace_init_task: initialize child->jobctl explicitlyOleg Nesterov
new_child->jobctl is not initialized during the fork, it is copied from parent->jobctl. Currently this is harmless, the forking task is running and copy_process() can't succeed if signal_pending() is true, so only JOBCTL_STOP_DEQUEUED can be copied. Still this is a bit fragile, it would be more clean to set ->jobctl = 0 explicitly. Also, check ->ptrace != 0 instead of PT_PTRACED, move the CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT code up.

2011-06-27ptrace: ptrace_reparented() should check same_thread_group()Oleg Nesterov
ptrace_reparented() naively does parent != real_parent, this means it returns true even if the tracer _is_ the real parent. This is per process thing, not per-thread. The only reason ->real_parent can point to the non-leader thread is that we have __WNOTHREAD. Change it to check !same_thread_group(parent, real_parent). It has two callers, and in both cases the current check does not look right. exit_notify: we should respect ->exit_signal if the exiting leader is traced by any thread from the parent thread group. It is the child of the whole group, and we are going to send the signal to the whole group. wait_task_zombie: without __WNOTHREAD do_wait() should do the same for any thread, only sys_ptrace() is "bound" to the single thread. However do_wait(WEXITED) succeeds but does not release a traced natural child unless the caller is the tracer. Test-case: void *tfunc(void *arg) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, (long)arg, 0,0) == 0); pause(); return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t thr; pid_t pid, stat, ret; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { pause(); assert(0); } assert(pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, (void*)(long)pid) == 0); assert(waitpid(-1, &stat, 0) == pid); assert(WIFSTOPPED(stat)); kill(pid, SIGKILL); assert(waitpid(-1, &stat, 0) == pid); assert(WIFSIGNALED(stat) && WTERMSIG(stat) == SIGKILL); ret = waitpid(pid, &stat, 0); if (ret < 0) return 0; printf("WTF? %d is dead, but: wait=%d stat=%x\n", pid, ret, stat); return 1; } Note that the main thread simply does pid = fork(); kill(pid, SIGKILL); and then without the patch wait4(WEXITED) succeeds twice and reports WTERMSIG(stat) == SIGKILL.

tracehook_prepare_clone() This patch implements ptrace_event_enabled() which tests whether a given PTRACE_EVENT_* is enabled and use it to simplify ptrace_event() and tracehook_prepare_clone(). PT_EVENT_FLAG() macro is added which calculates PT_TRACE_* flag from PTRACE_EVENT_*. This is used to define PT_TRACE_* flags and by ptrace_event_enabled() to find the matching flag. This is used to make ptrace_event() and tracehook_prepare_clone() simpler. * ptrace_event() callers were responsible for providing mask to test whether the event was enabled. This patch implements ptrace_event_enabled() and make ptrace_event() drop @mask and determine whether the event is enabled from @event. Note that @event is constant and this conversion doesn't add runtime overhead. All conversions except tracehook_report_clone_complete() are trivial. tracehook_report_clone_complete() used to use 0 for @mask (always enabled) but now tests whether the specified event is enabled. This doesn't cause any behavior difference as it's guaranteed that the event specified by @trace is enabled. * tracehook_prepare_clone() now only determines which event is applicable and use ptrace_event_enabled() for enable test.

2011-06-16ptrace: implement PTRACE_LISTENTejun Heo
The previous patch implemented async notification for ptrace but it only worked while trace is running. This patch introduces PTRACE_LISTEN which is suggested by Oleg Nestrov. It's allowed iff tracee is in STOP trap and puts tracee into quasi-running state - tracee never really runs but wait(2) and ptrace(2) consider it to be running. While ptracer is listening, tracee is allowed to re-enter STOP to notify an async event. Listening state is cleared on the first notification. Ptracer can also clear it by issuing INTERRUPT - tracee will re-trap into STOP with listening state cleared. This allows ptracer to monitor group stop state without running tracee - use INTERRUPT to put tracee into STOP trap, issue LISTEN and then wait(2) to wait for the next group stop event. When it happens, PTRACE_GETSIGINFO provides information to determine the current state. Test program follows. #define PTRACE_SEIZE 0x4206 #define PTRACE_INTERRUPT 0x4207 #define PTRACE_LISTEN 0x4208 #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) { 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; } printf("tracer: stopped=%d signo=%d\n", si.si_signo != SIGTRAP, si.si_signo); if (si.si_signo != SIGTRAP) ptrace(PTRACE_LISTEN, tracee, NULL, NULL); else 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; } This is identical to the program to test TRAP_NOTIFY except that tracee is PTRACE_LISTEN'd instead of PTRACE_CONT'd when group stopped. This allows ptracer to monitor when group stop ends without running tracee. # ./test-listen 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 -v2: Moved JOBCTL_LISTENING check in wait_task_stopped() into task_stopped_code() as suggested by Oleg.

2011-06-16ptrace: implement PTRACE_INTERRUPTTejun Heo
Currently, there's no way to trap a running ptracee short of sending a signal which has various side effects. This patch implements PTRACE_INTERRUPT which traps ptracee without any signal or job control related side effect. The implementation is almost trivial. It uses the group stop trap - SIGTRAP | PTRACE_EVENT_STOP << 8. A new trap flag JOBCTL_TRAP_INTERRUPT is added, which is set on PTRACE_INTERRUPT and cleared when any trap happens. As INTERRUPT should be useable regardless of the current state of tracee, task_is_traced() test in ptrace_check_attach() is skipped for INTERRUPT. PTRACE_INTERRUPT is available iff tracee is attached with PTRACE_SEIZE. Test program follows. #define PTRACE_SEIZE 0x4206 #define PTRACE_INTERRUPT 0x4207 #define PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL 0x80000000 static const struct timespec ts100ms = { .tv_nsec = 100000000 }; static const struct timespec ts1s = { .tv_sec = 1 }; static const struct timespec ts3s = { .tv_sec = 3 }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { pid_t tracee; tracee = fork(); if (tracee == 0) { nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); while (1) { printf("tracee: alive pid=%d\n", getpid()); nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL); } } if (argc > 1) kill(tracee, SIGSTOP); nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tracee, NULL, (void *)(unsigned long)PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL); if (argc > 1) { waitid(P_PID, tracee, NULL, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, NULL); } nanosleep(&ts3s, NULL); printf("tracer: INTERRUPT and DETACH\n"); ptrace(PTRACE_INTERRUPT, tracee, NULL, NULL); waitid(P_PID, tracee, NULL, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, tracee, NULL, NULL); nanosleep(&ts3s, NULL); printf("tracer: exiting\n"); kill(tracee, SIGKILL); return 0; } When called without argument, tracee is seized from running state, interrupted and then detached back to running state. # ./test-interrupt tracee: alive pid=4546 tracee: alive pid=4546 tracee: alive pid=4546 tracer: INTERRUPT and DETACH tracee: alive pid=4546 tracee: alive pid=4546 tracee: alive pid=4546 tracer: exiting When called with argument, tracee is seized from stopped state, continued, interrupted and then detached back to stopped state. # ./test-interrupt 1 tracee: alive pid=4548 tracee: alive pid=4548 tracee: alive pid=4548 tracer: INTERRUPT and DETACH tracer: exiting Before PTRACE_INTERRUPT, once the tracee was running, there was no way to trap tracee and do PTRACE_DETACH without causing side effect. -v2: Updated to use task_set_jobctl_pending() so that it doesn't end up scheduling TRAP_STOP if child is dying which may make the child unkillable.

2011-06-16ptrace: implement PTRACE_SEIZETejun Heo
PTRACE_ATTACH implicitly issues SIGSTOP on attach which has side effects on tracee signal and job control states. This patch implements a new ptrace request PTRACE_SEIZE which attaches a tracee without trapping it or affecting its signal and job control states. The usage is the same with PTRACE_ATTACH but it takes PTRACE_SEIZE_* flags in @data. Currently, the only defined flag is PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL which is a temporary flag to enable PTRACE_SEIZE. PTRACE_SEIZE will change ptrace behaviors outside of attach itself. The changes will be implemented gradually and the DEVEL flag is to prevent programs which expect full SEIZE behavior from using it before all the behavior modifications are complete while allowing unit testing. The flag will be removed once SEIZE behaviors are completely implemented. * PTRACE_SEIZE, unlike ATTACH, doesn't force tracee to trap. After attaching tracee continues to run unless a trap condition occurs. * PTRACE_SEIZE doesn't affect signal or group stop state. * If PTRACE_SEIZE'd, group stop uses PTRACE_EVENT_STOP trap which uses exit_code of (signr | PTRACE_EVENT_STOP << 8) where signr is one of the stopping signals if group stop is in effect or SIGTRAP otherwise, and returns usual trap siginfo on PTRACE_GETSIGINFO instead of NULL. Seizing sets PT_SEIZED in ->ptrace of the tracee. This flag will be used to determine whether new SEIZE behaviors should be enabled. Test program follows. #define PTRACE_SEIZE 0x4206 #define PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL 0x80000000 static const struct timespec ts100ms = { .tv_nsec = 100000000 }; static const struct timespec ts1s = { .tv_sec = 1 }; static const struct timespec ts3s = { .tv_sec = 3 }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { pid_t tracee; tracee = fork(); if (tracee == 0) { nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); while (1) { printf("tracee: alive\n"); nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL); } } if (argc > 1) kill(tracee, SIGSTOP); nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tracee, NULL, (void *)(unsigned long)PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL); if (argc > 1) { waitid(P_PID, tracee, NULL, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, NULL); } nanosleep(&ts3s, NULL); printf("tracer: exiting\n"); return 0; } When the above program is called w/o argument, tracee is seized while running and remains running. When tracer exits, tracee continues to run and print out messages. # ./test-seize-simple tracee: alive tracee: alive tracee: alive tracer: exiting tracee: alive tracee: alive When called with an argument, tracee is seized from stopped state and continued, and returns to stopped state when tracer exits. # ./test-seize tracee: alive tracee: alive tracee: alive tracer: exiting # ps -el|grep test-seize 1 T 0 4720 1 0 80 0 - 941 signal ttyS0 00:00:00 test-seize -v2: SEIZE doesn't schedule TRAP_STOP and leaves tracee running as Jan suggested. -v3: PTRACE_EVENT_STOP traps now report group stop state by signr.

2011-04-25ptrace: Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpointsFrederic Weisbecker
When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed and thus its breakpoints released. This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing a freed pointer. Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

While in theory user_enable_single_step/user_disable_single_step/ user_enable_blockstep could also be provided as an inline or macro there's no good reason to do so, and having the prototype in one places keeps code size and confusion down. Roland said: The original thought there was that user_enable_single_step() et al might well be only an instruction or three on a sane machine (as if we have any of those!), and since there is only one call site inlining would be beneficial. But I agree that there is no strong reason to care about inlining it. As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I'd add to the record. It was always my thinking that for an arch where PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion, user_enable_single_step() should not be provided. That is, arch_has_single_step()=>true means that there is an arch facility with "pure" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects. Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in multi-threaded situations. Aside from that, it is a peculiar side effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW de-sharing of text pages and so forth. For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing. But for building other things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform "pure" semantics that arch-independent code can expect. OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer. As of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et al so it's a distinction without a practical difference. If/when there are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care, the affected arch's can revisit the question when someone cares about the quality of the arch support for said new facility.

2010-02-11ptrace: Add support for generic PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSETSuresh Siddha
Generic support for PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands which export the regsets supported by each architecture using the correponding NT_* types. These NT_* types are already part of the userland ABI, used in representing the architecture specific register sets as different NOTES in an ELF core file. 'addr' parameter for the ptrace system call encode the REGSET type (using the corresppnding NT_* type) and the 'data' parameter points to the struct iovec having the user buffer and the length of that buffer. struct iovec iov = { buf, len}; ret = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET, pid, NT_XXX_TYPE, &iov); On successful completion, iov.len will be updated by the kernel specifying how much the kernel has written/read to/from the user's iov.buf. x86 extended state registers are primarily exported using this interface.
