5af662030e userns: Convert ptrace, kill, set_priority permission checks to work with kuids and kgids
Update the permission checks to use the new uid_eq and gid_eq helpers
and remove the now unnecessary user_ns equality comparison.

ee00560c7d ptrace: remove PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL bit
PTRACE_SEIZE code is tested and ready for production use, remove the
code which requires special bit in data argument to make PTRACE_SEIZE
work.

Strace team prepares for a new release of strace, and we would like to
ship the code which uses PTRACE_SEIZE, preferably after this change goes
into released kernel.

aa9147c98f ptrace: make PTRACE_SEIZE set ptrace options specified in 'data' parameter
This can be used to close a few corner cases in strace where we get
unwanted racy behavior after attach, but before we have a chance to set
options (the notorious post-execve SIGTRAP comes to mind), and removes
the need to track "did we set opts for this task" state in strace
internals.

While we are at it:

Make it possible to extend SEIZE in the future with more functionality
by passing non-zero 'addr' parameter.  To that end, error out if 'addr'
is non-zero.  PTRACE_ATTACH did not (and still does not) have such
check, and users (strace) do pass garbage there...  let's avoid
repeating this mistake with SEIZE.

Set all task->ptrace bits in one operation - before this change, we were
adding PT_SEIZED and PT_PTRACE_CAP with task->ptrace |= BIT ops.  This
was probably ok (not a bug), but let's be on a safer side.

Changes since v2: use (unsigned long) casts instead of (long) ones, move
PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL-related code to separate lines of code.

86b6c1f301 ptrace: simplify PTRACE_foo constants and PTRACE_SETOPTIONS code
Exchange PT_TRACESYSGOOD and PT_PTRACE_CAP bit positions, which makes
PT_option bits contiguous and therefore makes code in
ptrace_setoptions() much simpler.

Every PTRACE_O_TRACEevent is defined to (1 << PTRACE_EVENT_event)
instead of using explicit numeric constants, to ensure we don't mess up
relationship between bit positions and event ids.

PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT was not particularly useful, PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT with
value of PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT-1 is easier to use.

PT_TRACE_MASK constant is nuked, the only its use is replaced by
(PTRACE_O_MASK << PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT).

8c5cf9e5c5 ptrace: don't modify flags on PTRACE_SETOPTIONS failure
On ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, <opts>), we used to set those
option bits which are known, and then fail with -EINVAL if there are
some unknown bits in <opts>.

This is inconsistent with typical error handling, which does not change
any state if input is invalid.

This patch changes PTRACE_SETOPTIONS behavior so that in this case, we
return -EINVAL and don't change any bits in task->ptrace.

It's very unlikely that there is userspace code in the wild which will
be affected by this change: it should have the form

    ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT)

where PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT is a constant unknown to the kernel.  But kernel
headers, naturally, don't contain any PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPTs, thus the only
way userspace can use one if it defines one itself.  I can't see why
anyone would do such a thing deliberately.

69f594a389 ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/stat
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.

f1c84dae0e capabilities: remove task_ns_* functions
task_ in the front of a function, in the security subsystem anyway, means
to me at least, that we are operating with that task as the subject of the
security decision.  In this case what it means is that we are using current as
the subject but we use the task to get the right namespace.  Who in the world
would ever realize that's what task_ns_capability means just by the name?  This
patch eliminates the task_ns functions entirely and uses the has_ns_capability
function instead.  This means we explicitly open code the ns in question in
the caller.  I think it makes the caller a LOT more clear what is going on.

8a88951b58 ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detach
This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this
area.

1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the
   stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is
   not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running
   thread which can initiate another group-stop.

   Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace).

2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached
   and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING
   but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr)
   in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches.

   Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report.

   Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from
   current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the
   possible similar problems.

f701e5b73a connector: add an event for monitoring process tracers
This change adds a procfs connector event, which is emitted on every
successful process tracer attach or detach.

If some process connects to other one, kernelspace connector reports
process id and thread group id of both these involved processes. On
disconnection null process id is returned.

Such an event allows to create a simple automated userspace mechanism
to be aware about processes connecting to others, therefore predefined
process policies can be applied to them if needed.

Note, a detach signal is emitted only in case, if a tracer process
explicitly executes PTRACE_DETACH request. In other cases like tracee
or tracer exit detach event from proc connector is not reported.

9843a1e977 __ptrace_detach: avoid task_detached(), check do_notify_parent()
__ptrace_detach() relies on the current obscure behaviour of
do_notify_parent(tsk) which changes tsk->exit_signal if this child
should be silently reaped. That is why we check task_detached(), it
is true if the task is sub-thread, or it is the group_leader but
its exit_signal was changed by do_notify_parent().

This is confusing, change the code to rely on !thread_group_leader()
or the value returned by do_notify_parent().

544b2c91a9 ptrace: implement PTRACE_LISTEN
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

fca26f260c ptrace: implement PTRACE_INTERRUPT
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.  Spotted by Oleg.

3544d72a0e ptrace: implement PTRACE_SEIZE
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.  If
     group stop is in effect the stop signal number is returned as
     part of exit_code; otherwise, SIGTRAP.  This was suggested by
     Denys and Oleg.

73ddff2bee job control: introduce JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP and use it for group stop trap
do_signal_stop() implemented both normal group stop and trap for group
stop while ptraced.  This approach has been enough but scheduled
changes require trap mechanism which can be used in more generic
manner and using group stop trap for generic trap site simplifies both
userland visible interface and implementation.

This patch adds a new jobctl flag - JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP.  When set, it
triggers a trap site, which behaves like group stop trap, in
get_signal_to_deliver() after checking for pending signals.  While
ptraced, do_signal_stop() doesn't stop itself.  It initiates group
stop if requested and schedules JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP and returns.  The
caller - get_signal_to_deliver() - is responsible for checking whether
TRAP_STOP is pending afterwards and handling it.

ptrace_attach() is updated to use JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP instead of
JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and __ptrace_unlink() to clear all pending trap
bits and TRAPPING so that TRAP_STOP and future trap bits don't linger
after detach.

While at it, add proper function comment to do_signal_stop() and make
it return bool.

-v2: __ptrace_unlink() updated to clear JOBCTL_TRAP_MASK and TRAPPING
     instead of JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK.  This avoids accidentally
     clearing JOBCTL_STOP_CONSUME.  Spotted by Oleg.

-v3: do_signal_stop() updated to return %false without dropping
     siglock while ptraced and TRAP_STOP check moved inside for(;;)
     loop after group stop participation.  This avoids unnecessary
     relocking and also will help avoiding unnecessary traps by
     consuming group stop before handling pending traps.

-v4: Jobctl trap handling moved into a separate function -
     do_jobctl_trap().

62c124ff3b ptrace: use bit_waitqueue for TRAPPING instead of wait_chldexit
ptracer->signal->wait_chldexit was used to wait for TRAPPING; however,
->wait_chldexit was already complicated with waker-side filtering
without adding TRAPPING wait on top of it.  Also, it unnecessarily
made TRAPPING clearing depend on the current ptrace relationship - if
the ptracee is detached, wakeup is lost.

There is no reason to use signal->wait_chldexit here.  We're just
waiting for JOBCTL_TRAPPING bit to clear and given the relatively
infrequent use of ptrace, bit_waitqueue can serve it perfectly.

This patch makes JOBCTL_TRAPPING wait use bit_waitqueue instead of
signal->wait_chldexit.

-v2: Use JOBCTL_*_BIT macros instead of ilog2() as suggested by Linus.

7dd3db54e7 job control: introduce task_set_jobctl_pending()
task->jobctl currently hosts JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and will host TRAP
pending bits too.  Setting pending conditions on a dying task may make
the task unkillable.  Currently, each setting site is responsible for
checking for the condition but with to-be-added job control traps this
becomes too fragile.

This patch adds task_set_jobctl_pending() which should be used when
setting task->jobctl bits to schedule a stop or trap.  The function
performs the followings to ease setting pending bits.

* Sanity checks.

* If fatal signal is pending or PF_EXITING is set, no bit is set.

* STOP_SIGMASK is automatically cleared if new value is being set.

do_signal_stop() and ptrace_attach() are updated to use
task_set_jobctl_pending() instead of setting STOP_PENDING explicitly.
The surrounding structures around setting are changed to fit
task_set_jobctl_pending() better but there should be no userland
visible behavior difference.

0666fb51b1 ptrace: ptrace_resume() shouldn't wake up !TASK_TRACED thread
It is not clear why ptrace_resume() does wake_up_process(). Unless the
caller is PTRACE_KILL the tracee should be TASK_TRACED so we can use
wake_up_state(__TASK_TRACED). If sys_ptrace() races with SIGKILL we do
not need the extra and potentionally spurious wakeup.

If the caller is PTRACE_KILL, wake_up_process() is even more wrong.
The tracee can sleep in any state in any place, and if we have a buggy
code which doesn't handle a spurious wakeup correctly PTRACE_KILL can
be used to exploit it. For example:

	int main(void)
	{
		int child, status;

		child = fork();
		if (!child) {
			int ret;

			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);

			ret = pause();
			printf("pause: %d %m\n", ret);

			return 0x23;
		}

		sleep(1);
		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_KILL, child, 0,0) == 0);

		assert(child == wait(&status));
		printf("wait: %x\n", status);

		return 0;
	}

prints "pause: -1 Unknown error 514", -ERESTARTNOHAND leaks to the
userland. In this case sys_pause() is buggy as well and should be
fixed.

I do not know what was the original rationality behind PTRACE_KILL.
The man page is simply wrong and afaics it was always wrong. Imho
it should be deprecated, or may be it should do send_sig(SIGKILL)
as Denys suggests, but in any case I do not think that the current
behaviour was intentional.

Note: there is another problem, ptrace_resume() changes ->exit_code
and this can race with SIGKILL too. Eventually we should change ptrace
to not use ->exit_code.

bf26c01849 ptrace: Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpoints
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.

		. Also fix the cap_ptrace checks.
	Jan  1: Use const cred struct
	Jan 11: use task_ns_capable() in place of ptrace_capable().
	Feb 23: same_or_ancestore_user_ns() was not an appropriate
		check to constrain cap_issubset.  Rather, cap_issubset()
		only is meaningful when both capsets are in the same

0e9f0a4abf ptrace: Always put ptracee into appropriate execution state
Currently, __ptrace_unlink() wakes up the tracee iff it's in
TASK_TRACED.  For unlinking from PTRACE_DETACH, this is correct as the
tracee is guaranteed to be in TASK_TRACED or dead; however, unlinking
also happens when the ptracer exits and in this case the ptracee can
be in any state and ptrace might be left running even if the group it
belongs to is stopped.

This patch updates __ptrace_unlink() such that GROUP_STOP_PENDING is
reinstated regardless of the ptracee's current state as long as it's
alive and makes sure that signal_wake_up() is called if execution
state transition is necessary.

Test case follows.

  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <time.h>
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/ptrace.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>

  static const struct timespec ts1s = { .tv_sec = 1 };

  int main(void)
  {
	  pid_t tracee;
	  siginfo_t si;

	  tracee = fork();
	  if (tracee == 0) {
		  while (1) {
			  nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
			  write(1, ".", 1);
		  }
	  }

	  ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);
	  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
	  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status);
	  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
	  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status);
	  write(1, "exiting", 7);
	  return 0;
  }

Before the patch, after the parent process exits, the child is left
running and prints out "." every second.

  exiting..... (continues)

After the patch, the group stop initiated by the implied SIGSTOP from
PTRACE_ATTACH is re-established when the parent exits.

d79fdd6d96 ptrace: Clean transitions between TASK_STOPPED and TRACED
Currently, if the task is STOPPED on ptrace attach, it's left alone
and the state is silently changed to TRACED on the next ptrace call.
The behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called
before any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task
manipulates the state of another task directly.

With GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and
TRACED can be made clean.  The tracer can use the flag to tell the
tracee to retry stop on attach and detach.  On retry, the tracee will
enter the desired state in the correct way.  The lower 16bits of
task->group_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused
the last group stop.  This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as
the original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by
then.

As the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code
anytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it
can be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop().  This
is recorded in the lower 16bits of task->group_stop.

If a task is already stopped and there's no intervening SIGCONT, a
ptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should
always succeed even if the tracer doesn't wait(2) for attach
completion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be
TASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the
following request to fail with -ESRCH.

This intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait
for it to clear on its signal->wait_chldexit.  Completing the
transition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.

Note that the STOPPED -> RUNNING -> TRACED transition is still visible
to other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the
reverse transition is visible to all.  Please read the comments for
details.

Oleg:

* Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without
  proper bookkeeping.  Fixed by redoing bookkeeping on retry.

* Spotted that the transition is visible to userland in several
  different ways.  Most are fixed with GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING.  Unhandled
  corner case is documented.

* Pointed out not setting GROUP_STOP_SIGMASK on an already stopped
  task would result in more consistent behavior.

* Pointed out that calling ptrace_stop() from do_signal_stop() in
  TASK_STOPPED can race with group stop start logic and then confuse
  the TRAPPING wait in ptrace_check_attach().  ptrace_stop() is now
  called with TASK_RUNNING.

* Suggested using signal->wait_chldexit instead of bit wait.

* Spotted a race condition between TRACED transition and clearing of
  TRAPPING.

9f2bf6513a ptrace: Remove the extra wake_up_state() from ptrace_detach()
This wake_up_state() has a turbulent history.  This is a remnant from
ancient ptrace implementation and patently wrong.  Commit 95a3540d
(ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic) removed
it but the change was reverted later by commit edaba2c5 (ptrace:
revert "ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic")
citing compatibility breakage and general brokeness of the whole group
stop / ptrace interaction.  Then, recently, it got converted from
wake_up_process() to wake_up_state() to make it less dangerous.

Digging through the mailing archives, the compatibility breakage
doesn't seem to be critical in the sense that the behavior isn't well
defined or reliable to begin with and it seems to have been agreed to
remove the wakeup with proper cleanup of the whole thing.

Now that the group stop and its interaction with ptrace are being
cleaned up, it's high time to finally kill this silliness.

01e05e9a90 ptrace: use safer wake up on ptrace_detach()
The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not
interlocked with the tracee state.  IOW, the tracee could be running or
sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is
called.  This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be
dangerous.

The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its
toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state.

This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector.  I don't think it
will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops
somewhere.  Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should
be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup
conditions are expected to be interlocked.  Although the window of
opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with
some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

This allows us to add the fastpath list_empty(ptraced) check.  In the
likely no-tracees case exit_ptrace() just returns and we avoid the lock()
+ unlock() sequence.

b8bc1389b7 ptrace: Cleanup useless header
BKL isn't present anymore into this file thus we can safely remove
smp_lock.h inclusion.

5534ecb2dd ptrace: kill BKL in ptrace syscall
The comment suggests that this usage is stale. There is no bkl in the
exec path so if there is a race lurking there, the bkl in ptrace is
not going to help in this regard.

Overview of the possibility of "accidental" races this bkl might
protect:

- ptrace_traceme() is protected against task removal and concurrent
read/write on current->ptrace as it locks write tasklist_lock.

- arch_ptrace_attach() is serialized by ptrace_traceme() against
concurrent PTRACE_TRACEME or PTRACE_ATTACH

- ptrace_attach() is protected the same way ptrace_traceme() and
in turn serializes arch_ptrace_attach()

- ptrace_check_attach() does its own well described serializing too.

There is no obvious race here.

faa4602e47 x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code
Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.

It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.

Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.

So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

c6a0dd7ec6 ptrace: Fix ptrace_regset() comments and diagnose errors specifically
Return -EINVAL for the bad size and for unrecognized NT_* type in
ptrace_regset() instead of -EIO.

2225a122ae ptrace: Add support for generic PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET
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.

a7f0765edf ptrace: __ptrace_detach: do __wake_up_parent() if we reap the tracee
The bug is old, it wasn't cause by recent changes.

Test case:

	static void *tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		int pid = (long)arg;

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL) == 0);
		kill(pid, SIGKILL);

		sleep(1);
		return NULL;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		pthread_t th;
		long pid = fork();

		if (!pid)
			pause();

		signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);
		assert(pthread_create(&th, NULL, tfunc, (void*)pid) == 0);

		int r = waitpid(-1, NULL, __WNOTHREAD);
		printf("waitpid: %d %m\n", r);

		return 0;
	}

Before the patch this program hangs, after this patch waitpid() correctly
fails with errno == -ECHILD.

The problem is, __ptrace_detach() reaps the EXIT_ZOMBIE tracee if its
->real_parent is our sub-thread and we ignore SIGCHLD.  But in this case
we should wake up other threads which can sleep in do_wait().
