ptrace: implement PTRACE_LISTEN
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.
