But I agree that there is no strong reason to care\n about inlining it.\n\n As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I\u0027d add to the\n record. It was always my thinking that for an arch where\n PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion,\n user_enable_single_step() should not be provided. That is,\n arch_has_single_step()\u003d\u003etrue means that there is an arch facility with\n \"pure\" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects.\n Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in\n multi-threaded situations. Aside from that, it is a peculiar side\n effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW\n de-sharing of text pages and so forth. For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these\n peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having\n arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing. But for building other\n things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform \"pure\" semantics\n that arch-independent code can expect.\n\n OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer. As\n of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et\n al so it\u0027s a distinction without a practical difference. If/when there\n are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care,\n the affected arch\u0027s can revisit the question when someone cares about\n the quality of the arch support for said new facility.\n\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@lst.de\u003e\nCc: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Roland McGrath \u003croland@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "c6a0dd7ec6fb2d4927979ed4dc562fc5c122d826", "tree": "415f5e04788eb289820685b33dabcc7949d6196b", "parents": [ "5e6dbc260704ce4d22fc9664f517f0bb6748feaa" ], "author": { "name": "Suresh Siddha", "email": "suresh.b.siddha@intel.com", "time": "Mon Feb 22 14:51:32 2010 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "H.

This\nis a common-sense invariant that is already always true except in this one\narcane case of zombie leader whose parent ignores SIGCHLD.\n\nThis change is harmless and only costs one store in this one rare case.\nIt keeps the expected state more consisently sane, which is nicer when\ndebugging weirdness in release_task(). It also lets some future code in\nthe tracehook entry points rely on this invariant for bookkeeping.\n\nSigned-off-by: Roland McGrath \u003croland@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@tv-sign.ru\u003e\nReviewed-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "09a05394fe2448a4139b014936330af23fa7ec83", "tree": "a7b3f0ffe271d4d35c3b98a99183d8792ea4db53", "parents": [ "30199f5a46aee204bf437a4f5b0740f3efe448b7" ], "author": { "name": "Roland McGrath", "email": "roland@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Jul 25 19:45:47 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat Jul 26 12:00:08 2008 -0700" }, "message": "tracehook: clone\n\nThis moves all the ptrace initialization and tracing logic for task\ncreation into tracehook.h and ptrace.h inlines.

There are more details in the log entry for patch\n01/23 and in the header file comments inside that patch. Most of these\nchanges move code around with little or no change, and they should not\nbreak anything or change any behavior.\n\nThis sets a new standard for uniform arch support to enable clean\narch-independent implementations of new debugging and tracing stuff,\ndenoted by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Patch 20/23 adds that symbol to\narch/Kconfig, with comments listing everything an arch has to do before\nsetting \"select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK\". These are elaborted a bit at:\n\n\thttp://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/arch/HowTo\n\nThe new inlines that arch code must define or call have detailed kerneldoc\ncomments in the generic header files that say what is required.\n\nNo arch is obligated to do any work, and no arch\u0027s build should be broken\nby these changes. There are several steps that each arch should take so\nit can set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Most of these are simple. Providing this\nsupport will let new things people add for doing debugging and tracing of\nuser-level threads \"just work\" for your arch in the future. For an arch\nthat does not provide HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK, some new options for such\nfeatures will not be available for config.\n\nI have done some arch work and will submit this to the arch maintainers\nafter the generic tracehook series settles in. For now, that work is\navailable in my GIT repositories, and in patch and mbox-of-patches form at\nhttp://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/2.6-current/\n\nThis paves the way for my \"utrace\" work, to be submitted later. But it is\nnot innately tied to that. I hope that the tracehook series can go in\nsoon regardless of what eventually does or doesn\u0027t go on top of it. For\nanyone implementing any kind of new tracing/debugging plan, or just\nunderstanding all the context of the existing ptrace implementation,\nhaving tracehook.h makes things much easier to find and understand.\n\nThis patch:\n\nThis adds the new kernel-internal header file \u003clinux/tracehook.h\u003e. This\nis not yet used at all. The comments in the header introduce what the\nfollowing series of patches is about.\n\nThe aim is to formalize and consolidate all the places that the core\nkernel code and the arch code now ties into the ptrace implementation.\n\nThese patches mostly don\u0027t cause any functional change. They just move\nthe details of ptrace logic out of core code into tracehook.h inlines,\nwhere they are mostly compiled away to the same as before. All that\nchanges is that everything is thoroughly documented and any future\nreworking of ptrace, or addition of something new, would not have to touch\ncore code all over, just change the tracehook.h inlines.\n\nThe new linux/ptrace.h inlines are used by the following patches in the\nnew tracehook_*() inlines. Using these helpers for the ptrace event stops\nmakes it simple to change or disable the old ptrace implementation of\nthese stops conditionally later.\n\nSigned-off-by: Roland McGrath \u003croland@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@tv-sign.ru\u003e\nReviewed-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "006ebb40d3d65338bd74abb03b945f8d60e362bd", "tree": "c548c678b54b307e1fb9acf94676fb7bfd849501", "parents": [ "feb2a5b82d87fbdc01c00b7e9413e4b5f4c1f0c1" ], "author": { "name": "Stephen Smalley", "email": "sds@tycho.nsa.gov", "time": "Mon May 19 08:32:49 2008 -0400" }, "committer": { "name": "James Morris", "email": "jmorris@namei.org", "time": "Mon Jul 14 15:01:47 2008 +1000" }, "message": "Security: split proc ptrace checking into read vs. attach\n\nEnable security modules to distinguish reading of process state via\nproc from full ptrace access by renaming ptrace_may_attach to\nptrace_may_access and adding a mode argument indicating whether only\nread access or full attach access is requested. This allows security\nmodules to permit access to reading process state without granting\nfull ptrace access. The base DAC/capability checking remains unchanged.\n\nRead access to /proc/pid/mem continues to apply a full ptrace attach\ncheck since check_mem_permission() already requires the current task\nto already be ptracing the target. The other ptrace checks within\nproc for elements like environ, maps, and fds are changed to pass the\nread mode instead of attach.\n\nIn the SELinux case, we model such reading of process state as a\nreading of a proc file labeled with the target process\u0027 label. This\nenables SELinux policy to permit such reading of process state without\npermitting control or manipulation of the target process, as there are\na number of cases where programs probe for such information via proc\nbut do not need to be able to control the target (e.g. procps,\nlsof, PolicyKit, ConsoleKit). At present we have to choose between\nallowing full ptrace in policy (more permissive than required/desired)\nor breaking functionality (or in some cases just silencing the denials\nvia dontaudit rules but this can hide genuine attacks).\n\nThis version of the patch incorporates comments from Casey Schaufler\n(change/replace existing ptrace_may_attach interface, pass access\nmode), and Chris Wright (provide greater consistency in the checking).\n\nNote that like their predecessors __ptrace_may_attach and\nptrace_may_attach, the __ptrace_may_access and ptrace_may_access\ninterfaces use different return value conventions from each other (0\nor -errno vs. 1 or 0).

Fixing that is hard, while SYSEMU is easier to implement.\n\n* This version of the patch includes some suggestions of Jeff Dike to avoid\n adding any instructions to the syscall fast path, plus some other little\n changes, by myself, to make it work even when the syscall is executed with\n SYSENTER (but I\u0027m unsure about them). It has been widely tested for quite a\n lot of time.\n\n* Various fixed were included to handle the various switches between\n various states, i.e. when for instance a syscall entry is traced with one of\n PT_SYSCALL / _SYSEMU / _SINGLESTEP and another one is used on exit.\n Basically, this is done by remembering which one of them was used even after\n the call to ptrace_notify().\n\n* We\u0027re combining TIF_SYSCALL_EMU with TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SINGLESTEP\n to make do_syscall_trace() notice that the current syscall was started with\n SYSEMU on entry, so that no notification ought to be done in the exit path;\n this is a bit of a hack, so this problem is solved in another way in next\n patches.\n\n* Also, the effects of the patch:\n\"Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction with singlestep\"\nare cancelled; they are restored back in the last patch of this series.\n\nDetailed descriptions of the patches doing this kind of processing follow (but\nI\u0027ve already summed everything up).\n\n* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #1.\n\n In do_syscall_trace(), we check the status of the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag\n only after doing the debugger notification; but the debugger might have\n changed the status of this flag because he continued execution with\n PTRACE_SYSCALL, so this is wrong. This patch fixes it by saving the flag\n status before calling ptrace_notify().\n\n* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #2:\n avoid intercepting syscall on return when using SYSCALL again.\n\n A guest process switching from using PTRACE_SYSEMU to PTRACE_SYSCALL\n crashes.\n\n The problem is in arch/i386/kernel/entry.S. The current SYSEMU patch\n inhibits the syscall-handler to be called, but does not prevent\n do_syscall_trace() to be called after this for syscall completion\n interception.\n\n The appended patch fixes this. It reuses the flag TIF_SYSCALL_EMU to\n remember \"we come from PTRACE_SYSEMU and now are in PTRACE_SYSCALL\", since\n the flag is unused in the depicted situation.\n\n* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #3:\n avoid intercepting syscall on return when using SINGLESTEP.\n\n When testing 2.6.9 and the skas3.v6 patch, with my latest patch and had\n problems with singlestepping on UML in SKAS with SYSEMU. It looped\n receiving SIGTRAPs without moving forward. EIP of the traced process was\n the same for all SIGTRAPs.\n\nWhat\u0027s missing is to handle switching from PTRACE_SYSCALL_EMU to\nPTRACE_SINGLESTEP in a way very similar to what is done for the change from\nPTRACE_SYSCALL_EMU to PTRACE_SYSCALL_TRACE.\n\nI.e., after calling ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU), on the return path, the debugger is\nnotified and then wake ups the process; the syscall is executed (or skipped,\nwhen do_syscall_trace() returns 0, i.e. when using PTRACE_SYSEMU), and\ndo_syscall_trace() is called again. Since we are on the return path of a\nSYSEMU\u0027d syscall, if the wake up is performed through ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL),\nwe must still avoid notifying the parent of the syscall exit. Now, this\nbehaviour is extended even to resuming with PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paolo \u0027Blaisorblade\u0027 Giarrusso \u003cblaisorblade@yahoo.it\u003e\nCc: Jeff Dike \u003cjdike@addtoit.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "tree": "0bba044c4ce775e45a88a51686b5d9f90697ea9d", "parents": [], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org", "time": "Sat Apr 16 15:20:36 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org", "time": "Sat Apr 16 15:20:36 2005 -0700" }, "message": "Linux-2.6.12-rc2\n\nInitial git repository build.
