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 -v2: Moved JOBCTL_LISTENING check in wait_task_stopped() into task_stopped_code() as suggested by Oleg.

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>

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.

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.

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().

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.

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.

JOBCTL_TRAPPING indicates that ptracer is waiting for tracee to (re)transit into TRACED. task_clear_jobctl_pending() must be called when either tracee enters TRACED or the transition is cancelled for some reason. The former is achieved by explicitly calling task_clear_jobctl_pending() in ptrace_stop() and the latter by calling it at the end of do_signal_stop(). Calling task_clear_jobctl_trapping() at the end of do_signal_stop() limits the scope TRAPPING can be used and is fragile in that seemingly unrelated changes to tracee's control flow can lead to stuck TRAPPING. We already have task_clear_jobctl_pending() calls on those cancelling events to clear JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING. Cancellations can be handled by making those call sites use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead and updating task_clear_jobctl_pending() such that task_clear_jobctl_trapping() is called automatically if no stop/trap is pending. This patch makes the above changes and removes the fallback task_clear_jobctl_trapping() call from do_signal_stop().

This patch introduces JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and replaces task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending() with task_clear_jobctl_pending() which takes an extra @mask argument. JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK is currently equal to JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING but future patches will add more bits. recalc_sigpending_tsk() is updated to use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead. task_clear_jobctl_pending() takes @mask which in subset of JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and clears the relevant jobctl bits. If JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING is set, other STOP bits are cleared together. All task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending() users are updated to call task_clear_jobctl_pending() with JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING which is functionally identical to task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending(). This patch doesn't cause any functional change. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

In ptrace_stop(), after arch hook is done, the task state and jobctl bits are updated while holding siglock. The ordering requirement there is that TASK_TRACED is set before JOBCTL_TRAPPING is cleared to prevent ptracer waiting on TRAPPING doesn't end up waking up TRACED is actually set and sees TASK_RUNNING in wait(2). Move set_current_state(TASK_TRACED) to the top of the block and reorganize comments. This makes the ordering more obvious (TASK_TRACED before other updates) and helps future updates to group stop participation. This patch doesn't cause any functional change.

This reverts commit b1c43f82. It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues. It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41: "tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up"). It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf() function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code, and didn't actually check for the error in the caller. And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior to it: "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace data in the quoted bits further down). ... Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer process that could have emptied the PTY." which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41. Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

This results in no assertions with the previously mentioned patch applied. Artem: tweaked the patch a bit Signed-off-by: Ben Gardiner <bengardiner@nanometrics> Reviewed-by: Matthew L.

The current 'mount_ubifs()' implementation does not initialize the LPT until the the master node is marked dirty. Move the LPT initialization to before marking the master node dirty. This is a preparation for the next patch which will move the free-space-fixup check to before marking the master node dirty, because we have to fix-up the free space before doing any writes.

The current free space fixup can result in some writing to the UBI volume when the space_fixup flag is set. To catch instances where UBIFS is writing to the NAND while the space_fixup flag is set, add an assert to ubifs_write_node(). Artem: tweaked the patch, added similar assertion to the write buffer write path. Signed-off-by: Ben Gardiner <bengardiner@nanometrics.ca> Reviewed-by: Matthew L.

UBIFS maintains per-filesystem and global clean znode counters ('c->clean_zn_cnt' and 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'). It is important to maintain correct values there since the shrinker relies on 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'. However, in case of failures during commit the counters were corrupted. E.g., if a failure happens in the middle of 'write_index()', then some nodes in the commit list ('c->cnext') are marked as clean, and some are marked as dirty. And the 'ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree()' frees does not retrun correct count, and we end up with non-zero 'c->clean_zn_cnt' when unmounting. This means that if we have 2 file-sytem and one of them fails, and we unmount it, 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt' stays incorrect and confuses the shrinker.

UBIFS leaks memory on error path in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' in case of write failure because it forgets to free the 'struct ubifs_dent_node *dent' object. Although the object is small, the alignment can make it large - e.g., 2KiB if the min. I/O unit is 2KiB. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org

Sometimes VM asks the shrinker to return amount of objects it can shrink, and we return the ubifs_clean_zn_cnt in that case. However, it is possible that this counter is negative for a short period of time, due to the way UBIFS TNC code updates it. And I can observe the following warnings sometimes: shrink_slab: ubifs_shrinker+0x0/0x2b7 [ubifs] negative objects to delete nr=-8541616642706119788 This patch makes sure UBIFS never returns negative count of objects.

The jump to 4f will cause the NUL padding loop to run at least one time, so if string length is zero just jump to the end. Otherwise we wrongly write one NUL byte when size==0. Signed-off-by: Steven Miao <realmz6@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference. This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly. If you want to reproduce this panic, 1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on 2. Create 2 guests on KVM 2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net 4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden 5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes) Signed-off-by: Koki Sanagi <sanagi.koki@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

By ignoring the unset values of the minconfig in deciding what to test in the config_bisect can cause the problem config from being tested too. Just do not test the configs that are set in the minconfig. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The command that is called that reboots the kernel may fail but the return code is not passed back to the ktest.pl script. This is because a ';' is used between the two commands and if the second command fails, only the first command's return code is returned. Using a '&&' between the two commands fixes this.

Because in perl the array size returned by $#arr, is the last index and not the actually size of the array, we end the config bisect early, thinking there is only one config left when there are in fact two. Thus the result has a 50% chance of picking the correct config that caused the problem. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
