ptrace: fix race between ptrace_resume() and wait_task_stopped()
commit b72c186999e689cb0b055ab1c7b3cd8fffbeb5ed upstream.
ptrace_resume() is called when the tracee is still __TASK_TRACED. We set
tracee->exit_code and then wake_up_state() changes tracee->state. If the
tracer's sub-thread does wait() in between, task_stopped_code(ptrace => T)
wrongly looks like another report from tracee.
This confuses debugger, and since wait_task_stopped() clears ->exit_code
the tracee can miss a signal.
Test-case:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <assert.h>
int pid;
void *waiter(void *arg)
{
int stat;
for (;;) {
assert(pid == wait(&stat));
assert(WIFSTOPPED(stat));
if (WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGHUP)
continue;
assert(WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGCONT);
printf("ERR! extra/wrong report:%x\n", stat);
}
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t thread;
pid = fork();
if (!pid) {
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
for (;;)
kill(getpid(), SIGHUP);
}
assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, waiter, NULL) == 0);
for (;;)
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, SIGCONT);
return 0;
}
Note for stable: the bug is very old, but without 9899d11f6544 "ptrace:
ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL" the fix
should use lock_task_sighand(child).
