ptrace: implement TRAP_NOTIFY and use it for group stop events
Currently there's no way for ptracer to find out whether group stop finished other than polling with INTERRUPT - GETSIGINFO - CONT sequence. 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 schedules a STOP trap which is sticky - it isn't cleared by other traps and at least one STOP trap will happen eventually. STOP trap is synchronization point for event notification and the tracer can determine the current group stop state by looking at the signal number portion of exit code (si_status from waitid(2) or si_code from PTRACE_GETSIGINFO). Notifications are generated both on start and end of group stops but, because group stop participation always happens before STOP trap, this doesn't cause an extra trap while tracee is participating in group stop. The symmetry will be useful later. Note that this notification works iff tracee is not trapped. Currently there is no way to be notified of group stop state changes while tracee is trapped. This will be addressed by a later patch. 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) { 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); 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 keeps tracee running and gets notification of each group stop state changes. # ./test-notify 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 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
