[PATCH 10/10] ptrace: implement group stop notification for ptracer
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon May 16 2011 - 14:17:57 EST
Currently there's no way for ptracer to find out whether group stop
that tracee was in finished other than polling with PTRACE_GETSIGINFO.
Also, tracer can't detect new group stop started by an untraced thread
if tracee is already trapped. This patch implements group stop
notification for ptracer using STOP traps.
When group stop state of a seized tracee changes, JOBCTL_TRAP_NOTIFY
is set, which triggers STOP trap but is sticky until the next
PTRACE_GETSIGINFO. As GETSIGINFO exports the current group stop
state, this guarantees that tracer checks the current group stop state
at least once after group stop state change. Stickiness is necessary
because notification trap may race with PTRACE_CONT for other traps
and get lost.
Note that simply scheduling such trap isn't enough. If tracee is
running (PTRACE_CONT'd from group stop trap), the usual trapping -
setting NOTIFY followed by the usual signal_wake_up() - is enough;
however, if tracee is trapped, the scheduled trap won't happen until
the trap is continued.
This is solved by re-trapping if tracee is in STOP trap. Along with
JOBCTL_TRAP_NOTIFY, JOBCTL_TRAPPING is set and tracee is woken up from
TASK_TRACED. Tracee then (re-)enters INTERRUPT trap generating
notification for tracer. TRAPPING hides the TRACED -> RUNNING ->
TRACED transition from tracer.
Many ptrace requests expect tracee to remain trapped until they
finish. Such conditions are marked with JOBCTL_BLOCK_NOTIFY and if
notification happens while BLOCK_NOTIFY is set, JOBCTL_TRAPPING is set
but the actual wake up and re-trapping takes place when the ptrace
request finishes. This is safe as the only task which can wait for
TRAPPING is the ptracer.
Re-trapping is used only for STOP trap. If tracer wants to get
notified about group stop, it either leaves tracee in the initial STOP
trap or puts it into STOP trap using PTRACE_INTERRUPT. If STOP trap
is scheduled while tracee is already in a trap, it's guaranteed that
tracee will enter a trap without returning to userland, so tracer
doesn't lose any control over tracee execution for group stop
notification.
An example 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)
pause();
tracer = fork();
if (!tracer) {
int last_stopped = 0, stopped;
siginfo_t si;
ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tracee, NULL,
(void *)(unsigned long)PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL);
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;
}
stopped = !!si.si_status;
if (stopped != last_stopped)
printf("tracer: stopped=%d signo=%d\n",
stopped, si.si_signo);
last_stopped = stopped;
if (!stopped)
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;
}
In the above program, tracer gets notification of group stop state
changes and can track stopped state without polling PTRACE_GETSIGINFO.
# ./test-gstop-notify

tracer: SIG 19
tracer: stopped=1 signo=19
mother: SIGCONT
