While ptraced, a task may be resumed while the containing process is still job control stopped. If the task receives another stop signal in this state, it will still initiate group stop, which generates group_exit_code, which the real parent would be able to see once the ptracer detaches. In this scenario, the real parent may see two consecutive CLD_STOPPED events from two stop signals without intervening SIGCONT, which normally is impossible. Test case follows. #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> int main(void) { pid_t tracee; siginfo_t si; tracee = fork(); if (!tracee) while (1) pause(); kill(tracee, SIGSTOP); waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); if (!fork()) { 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); waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, tracee, NULL, NULL); return 0; } while (1) { si.si_pid = 0; waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WNOHANG); if (si.si_pid) printf("st=%02d c=%02d\n", si.si_status, si.si_code); } return 0; } Before the patch, the latter waitid() in polling mode reports the second stopped event generated by the implied SIGSTOP of PTRACE_ATTACH. st=19 c=05 ^C After the patch, the second event is not reported.

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. exiting Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

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.

A ptraced task would still stop at do_signal_stop() when it's stopping for stop signals and do_signal_stop() behaves the same whether the task is ptraced or not. However, in addition to stopping, ptrace_stop() also does ptrace specific stuff like calling architecture specific callbacks, so this behavior makes the code more fragile and difficult to understand. This patch makes do_signal_stop() test whether the task is ptraced and use ptrace_stop() if so. This renders tracehook_notify_jctl() rather pointless as the ptrace notification is now handled by ptrace_stop() regardless of the return value from the tracehook. It probably is a good idea to update it. This doesn't solve the whole problem as tasks already in stopped state would stay in the regular stop when ptrace attached. That part will be handled by the next patch. Oleg pointed out that this makes a userland-visible change. Before, SIGCONT would be able to wake up a task in group stop even if the task is ptraced if the tracer hasn't issued another ptrace command afterwards (as the next ptrace commands transitions the state into TASK_TRACED which ignores SIGCONT wakeups). With this and the next patch, SIGCONT may race with the transition into TASK_TRACED and is ignored if the tracee already entered TASK_TRACED. Another userland visible change of this and the next patch is that the ptracee's state would now be TASK_TRACED where it used to be TASK_STOPPED, which is visible via fs/proc.

Currently, ptrace_stop() unconditionally participates in group stop bookkeeping. This is unnecessary and inaccurate. Make it only participate if the task is trapping for group stop - ie. if @why is CLD_STOPPED. As ptrace_stop() currently is not used when trapping for group stop, this equals to disabling group stop participation from ptrace_stop(). A visible behavior change is increased likelihood of delayed group stop completion if the thread group contains one or more ptraced tasks. This is to preapre for further cleanup of the interaction between group stop and ptrace.

Currently task->signal->group_stop_count is used to decide whether to stop for group stop. However, if there is a task in the group which is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by ptrace would repeatedly stop for the same group stop until the group stop is complete. Conversely, if a ptraced task is in TASK_TRACED state, the debugger won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to the ptraced task in any other state. This patch introduces GROUP_STOP_PENDING which tracks whether a task is yet to stop for the group stop in progress. The flag is set when a group stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for the group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should participate in a group stop needs to be determined. Note that now tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop. This results in the following behavior changes. * For a single group stop, a ptracer would see at most one stop reported. * A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the tracer would get the notification. However, as a ptraced task could be in TASK_STOPPED state or any ptrace trap could consume group stop, the notification may still be missing. These will be addressed with further patches. * A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if the tracer let it continue with stop signal delivery. Group stop code handles this correctly. Oleg: * Spotted that a task might skip signal check even when its GROUP_STOP_PENDING is set. Fixed by updating recalc_sigpending_tsk() to check GROUP_STOP_PENDING instead of group_stop_count. * Pointed out that task->group_stop should be cleared whenever task->signal->group_stop_count is cleared. Fixed accordingly. * Pointed out the behavior inconsistency between TASK_TRACED and RUNNING and the last behavior change.

task->signal->group_stop_count is used to track the progress of group stop. It's initialized to the number of tasks which need to stop for group stop to finish and each stopping or trapping task decrements. However, each task doesn't keep track of whether it decremented the counter or not and if woken up before the group stop is complete and stops again, it can decrement the counter multiple times. Please consider the following example code. static void *worker(void *arg) { while (1) ; return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t thread; pid_t pid; int i; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) pthread_create(&thread, NULL, worker, NULL); while (1) ; return 0; } ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL); while (1) { waitid(P_PID, pid, NULL, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, NULL, (void *)(long)SIGSTOP); } return 0; } The child creates five threads and the parent continuously traps the first thread and whenever the child gets a signal, SIGSTOP is delivered. If an external process sends SIGSTOP to the child, all other threads in the process should reliably stop. However, due to the above bug, the first thread will often end up consuming group_stop_count multiple times and SIGSTOP often ends up stopping none or part of the other four threads. This patch adds a new field task->group_stop which is protected by siglock and uses GROUP_STOP_CONSUME flag to track which task is still to consume group_stop_count to fix this bug. task_clear_group_stop_pending() and task_participate_group_stop() are added to help manipulating group stop states. As ptrace_stop() now also uses task_participate_group_stop(), it will set SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED if it completes a group stop. There still are many issues regarding the interaction between group stop and ptrace. Patches to address them will follow. - Oleg spotted duplicate GROUP_STOP_CONSUME. Dropped.

tracehook_notify_jctl() aids in determining whether and what to report to the parent when a task is stopped or continued. The function also adds an extra requirement that siglock may be released across it, which is currently unused and quite difficult to satisfy in well-defined manner. As job control and the notifications are about to receive major overhaul, remove the tracehook and open code it. If ever necessary, let's factor it out after the overhaul. * Oleg spotted incorrect CLD_CONTINUED/STOPPED selection when ptraced. Fixed.

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.

After a task receives SIGCONT, its parent is notified via SIGCHLD with its siginfo describing what the notified event is. If SIGCONT is received while the child process is stopped, the code should be CLD_CONTINUED. If SIGCONT is recieved while the child process is in the process of being stopped, it should be CLD_STOPPED. Which code to use is determined in prepare_signal() and recorded in signal->flags using SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED|STOP flags. get_signal_deliver() should test these flags and then notify accoringly; however, it incorrectly tested SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED instead of SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED, thus incorrectly notifying CLD_CONTINUED if the signal is delivered before the task is wait(2)ed and CLD_STOPPED if the state was fetched already. Fix it by testing SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED. While at it, uncompress the ?: test into if/else clause for better readability.

Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter values. For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to capture the whole report. In this case, a small workspace (24K works fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e., during an oops or panic) or at boot time. I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits (positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

ADFS (FileCore) storage complies with the RISC OS filetype specification (12 bits of file type information is stored in the file load address, rather than using a file extension). The existing driver largely ignores this information and does not present it to the end user. It is desirable that stored filetypes be made visible to the end user to facilitate a precise copy of data and metadata from a hard disc (or image thereof) into a RISC OS emulator (such as RPCEmu) or to a network share which can be accessed by real Acorn systems. This patch implements a per-mount filetype suffix option (use -o ftsuffix=1) to present any filetype as a ,xyz hexadecimal suffix on each file. This type suffix is compatible with that used by RISC OS systems that access network servers using NFS client software and by RPCemu's host filing system.

It is desirable that stored timestamp precision be maintained to facilitate a precise copy of data and metadata from a hard disc (or image thereof) into a RISC OS emulator (such as RPCEmu). This patch implements a full-precision conversion from ADFS to Unix timestamp as the existing driver, for ease of calculation with old 32-bit compilers, uses the common trick of shifting the 40-bits representing centiseconds around into 32-bits representing seconds thereby losing precision.

Kernel crashes in fs/adfs module when accessing directories with a large number of objects on mounted Acorn ADFS E+/F+ format discs (or images) as the existing code writes off the end of the fixed array of struct buffer_head pointers. Additionally, each directory access that didn't crash would leak a buffer as nr_buffers was not adjusted correctly for E+/F+ discs (was always left as one less than required). The patch fixes this by allocating a dynamically-sized set of struct buffer_head pointers if necessary for the E+/F+ case (many directories still do in fact fit in 2048 bytes) and sets the correct nr_buffers so that all buffers are released. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26072 Tested by tar'ing the contents of my RISC PC's E+ format 20Gb HDD which contains a number of large directories that previously crashed the kernel.

Not all 64-bit systems require ISA-style DMA, so allow it to be configurable. x86 utilizes the generic ISA DMA allocator from kernel/dma.c, so require it only when CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API is enabled. Disabling CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API is dependent on x86_64 since those machines do not have ISA slots and benefit the most from disabling the option (and on CONFIG_EXPERT as required by H. Peter Anvin). When disabled, this also avoids declaring claim_dma_lock(), release_dma_lock(), request_dma(), and free_dma() since those interfaces will no longer be provided.

IORESOURCE_DMA cannot be assigned without utilizing the interface provided by CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API, specifically request_dma() and free_dma(). Thus, there's a strict dependency on the config option and limits IORESOURCE_DMA only to architectures that support ISA-style DMA. ia64 is not one of those architectures, so pnp_check_dma() no longer needs to be special-cased for that architecture. pnp_assign_resources() will now return -EINVAL if IORESOURCE_DMA is attempted on such a kernel.

With GCC-4.6 we get warnings about things being 'set but not used'. In load_elf_binary() this can happen with reloc_func_desc if ELF_PLAT_INIT is defined, but doesn't use the reloc_func_desc argument. Quiet the warning/error by marking reloc_func_desc as __maybe_unused.
