2013-01-22ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILLOleg Nesterov
putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can safely play with its stack. However a killed tracee can return from ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee does SAVE_REST again. set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the logic. As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace() call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the debugger looks at it. Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths. Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before access_process_vm(). While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().

2012-09-15uprobes/x86: Do not (ab)use TIF_SINGLESTEP/user_*_single_step() for ↵Oleg Nesterov
single-stepping user_enable/disable_single_step() was designed for ptrace, it assumes a single user and does unnecessary and wrong things for uprobes. For example: - arch_uprobe_enable_step() can't trust TIF_SINGLESTEP, an application itself can set X86_EFLAGS_TF which must be preserved after arch_uprobe_disable_step(). - we do not want to set TIF_SINGLESTEP/TIF_FORCED_TF in arch_uprobe_enable_step(), this only makes sense for ptrace. - otoh we leak TIF_SINGLESTEP if arch_uprobe_disable_step() doesn't do user_disable_single_step(), the application will be killed after the next syscall. - arch_uprobe_enable_step() does access_process_vm() we do not need/want. Change arch_uprobe_enable/disable_step() to set/clear X86_EFLAGS_TF directly, this is much simpler and more correct. However, we need to clear TIF_BLOCKSTEP/DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF before executing the probed insn, add set_task_blockstep(false). Note: with or without this patch, there is another (hopefully minor) problem. A probed "pushf" insn can see the wrong X86_EFLAGS_TF set by uprobes. Perhaps we should change _disable to update the stack, or teach arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() to emulate this insn.

2012-09-15ptrace/x86: Partly fix set_task_blockstep()->update_debugctlmsr() logicOleg Nesterov
Afaics the usage of update_debugctlmsr() and TIF_BLOCKSTEP in step.c was always very wrong. 1. update_debugctlmsr() was simply unneeded. The child sleeps TASK_TRACED, __switch_to_xtra(next_p => child) should notice TIF_BLOCKSTEP and set/clear DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF after resume if needed. 2. It is wrong. The state of DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF bit in CPU register should always match the state of current's TIF_BLOCKSTEP bit. 3. Even get_debugctlmsr() + update_debugctlmsr() itself does not look right. Irq can change other bits in MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR register or the caller can be preempted in between. 4. It is not safe to play with TIF_BLOCKSTEP if task != current. DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF and TIF_BLOCKSTEP should always match each other if the task is running. The tracee is stopped but it can be SIGKILL'ed right before set/clear_tsk_thread_flag(). However, now that uprobes uses user_enable_single_step(current) we can't simply remove update_debugctlmsr(). So this patch adds the additional "task == current" check and disables irqs to avoid the race with interrupts/preemption. Unfortunately this patch doesn't solve the last problem, we need another fix. Probably we should teach ptrace_stop() to set/clear single/block stepping after resume. And afaics there is yet another problem: perf can play with MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR from nmi, this obviously means that even __switch_to_xtra() has problems.

2011-08-04x86-64: Add user_64bit_mode paravirt opAndy Lutomirski
Three places in the kernel assume that the only long mode CPL 3 selector is __USER_CS. This is not true on Xen -- Xen's sysretq changes cs to the magic value 0xe033. Two of the places are corner cases, but as of "x86-64: Improve vsyscall emulation CS and RIP handling" (c9712944b2a12373cb6ff8059afcfb7e826a6c54), vsyscalls will segfault if called with Xen's extra CS selector. This causes a panic when older init builds die. It seems impossible to make Xen use __USER_CS reliably without taking a performance hit on every system call, so this fixes the tests instead with a new paravirt op. It's a little ugly because ptrace.h can't include paravirt.h.

2010-03-26x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace codePeter Zijlstra
Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

2008-07-16x86 ptrace: user-sets-TF nitsRoland McGrath
This closes some arcane holes in single-step handling that can arise only when user programs set TF directly (via popf or sigreturn) and then use vDSO (syscall/sysenter) system call entry. In those entry paths, the clear_TF_reenable case hits and we must check TIF_SINGLESTEP to be sure our bookkeeping stays correct wrt the user's view of TF.

2008-07-16x86 ptrace: block-step fixRoland McGrath
The enable_single_step() logic bails out early if TF is already set. That skips some of the bookkeeping that keeps things straight. This makes PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK break the behavior of a user task that was already setting TF itself in user mode. Fix the bookkeeping to notice the old TF setting as it should.

2008-04-17x86: prevent unconditional writes to DebugCtl MSRJan Beulich
Otherwise, enabling (or better, subsequent disabling) of single stepping would cause a kernel oops on CPUs not having this MSR. The patch could have been added a conditional to the MSR write in user_disable_single_step(), but centralizing the updates seems safer and (looking forward) better manageable.

2008-04-03x86 ptrace: avoid unnecessary wrmsrRoland McGrath
This avoids using wrmsr on MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR when it's not needed. No wrmsr ever needs to be done if noone has ever used block stepping. Without this change, using ptrace on 2.6.25 on an x86 KVM guest will tickle KVM's missing support for the MSR and crash the guest kernel. Though host KVM is the buggy one, this makes for a regression in the guest behavior from 2.6.24->2.6.25 that we can easily avoid. I also corrected some bad whitespace.

We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes for segment registers on the 32-bit side.

2008-01-30x86 single_step: TIF_FORCED_TFRoland McGrath
This changes the single-step support to use a new thread_info flag TIF_FORCED_TF instead of the PT_DTRACE flag in task_struct.ptrace. This keeps arch implementation uses out of this non-arch field. This changes the ptrace access to eflags to mask TF and maintain the TIF_FORCED_TF flag directly if userland sets TF, instead of relying on ptrace_signal_deliver. The 64-bit and 32-bit kernels are harmonized on this same behavior. The ptrace_signal_deliver approach works now, but this change makes the low-level register access code reliable when called from different contexts than a ptrace stop, which will be possible in the future. The 64-bit do_debug exception handler is also changed not to clear TF from user-mode registers. This matches the 32-bit kernel's behavior.
