Subject: ptrace/x86: fix the TIF_FORCED_TF logic in handle_signal()
X-Git-Tag: KARO-TXA5-2015-06-26~18^2~501
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4484f66ccf0e57670fad58a9e667298e527d0141;p=karo-tx-linux.git

ptrace/x86: fix the TIF_FORCED_TF logic in handle_signal()

When the TIF_SINGLESTEP tracee dequeues a signal, handle_signal() clears
TIF_FORCED_TF and X86_EFLAGS_TF but leaves TIF_SINGLESTEP set.

If the tracer does PTRACE_SINGLESTEP again, enable_single_step() sets
X86_EFLAGS_TF but not TIF_FORCED_TF.  This means that the subsequent
PTRACE_CONT doesn't not clear X86_EFLAGS_TF, and the tracee gets the wrong
SIGTRAP.

Test-case (needs -O2 to avoid prologue insns in signal handler):

	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <sys/user.h>
	#include <assert.h>
	#include <stddef.h>

	void handler(int n)
	{
		asm("nop");
	}

	int child(void)
	{
		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
		signal(SIGALRM, handler);
		kill(getpid(), SIGALRM);
		return 0x23;
	}

	void *getip(int pid)
	{
		return (void*)ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, pid,
					offsetof(struct user, regs.rip), 0);
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		pid = fork();
		if (!pid)
			return child();

		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGALRM);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0, SIGALRM) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
		assert((getip(pid) - (void*)handler) == 0);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0, SIGALRM) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
		assert((getip(pid) - (void*)handler) == 1);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFEXITED(status) && WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0x23);

		return 0;
	}

The last assert() fails because PTRACE_CONT wrongly triggers another
single-step and X86_EFLAGS_TF can't be cleared by debugger until the
tracee does sys_rt_sigreturn().

Change handle_signal() to do user_disable_single_step() if stepping, we do
not need to preserve TIF_SINGLESTEP because we are going to do
ptrace_notify(), and it is simply wrong to leak this bit.

While at it, change the comment to explain why we also need to clear TF
unconditionally after setup_rt_frame().

Note: in the longer term we should probably change setup_sigcontext() to
use get_flags() and then just remove this user_disable_single_step().
And, the state of TIF_FORCED_TF can be wrong after restore_sigcontext()
which can set/clear TF, this needs another fix.
