[PATCH] ptrace: fix PTRACE_LISTEN race corrupting task->state

From: bsegall
Date: Tue Feb 21 2017 - 13:48:30 EST



In PT_SEIZED + LISTEN mode SIGSTOP/SIGCONT signals cause a wakeup
against __TASK_TRACED. If this races with the ptrace_unfreeze_traced at
the end of a PTRACE_LISTEN, this can wake the task /after/ the check
against __TASK_TRACED, but before the reset of state to TASK_TRACED.
This causes it to instead clobber TASK_WAKING, allowing a subsequent
wakeup against TASK_TRACED while the task is still on the rq wake_list,
corrupting it.
