[PATCH 14/17] ptrace: make group stop state visible via PTRACE_GETSIGINFO

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Sun May 29 2011 - 19:14:18 EST


If tracee is SEIZED, PTRACE_EVENT_STOP trap is used for group stop;
however, there currently is no way to find out which signal initiated
the group stop or if the group stop is still in effect.

This patch updates ptrace_do_notify() such that it reports group stop
information via si.si_signo and si.si_pt_flags - both are stored in
siginfo on trap. Note that it's only available if tracee was seized.

This doesn't address notification and tracer has to repeatedly put the
tracee into trap and poll the flag. Later patches will deal with
notification and trap transition.

Test 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)
nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);

tracer = fork();
if (!tracer) {
int last_stopped = 0, stopped;
siginfo_t si;

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

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

Tracer delivers signal, resumes group stop, induces INTERRUPT traps
and reports group stop state change in busy loop. Mother sends
SIGSTOP or CONT to tracee on each second. Note that si_pt_flags and
flag testing are replaced with si_status testing. si_status occupies
the same offset as si_pt_flags and PTRACE_SI_STOPPED is the only flag
defined, so I took a dirty short cut.

# ./test-stopped
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: SIG 18
tracer: stopped=0 signo=5

-v2: Local variable sig defined inside if() block it's used in as
suggested by Oleg.

-v3: siginfo is filled in on trap rather than on PTRACE_GETSIGINFO as
suggested by Oleg.
