[SPARC64]: Fix atomicity of TIF update in flush_thread()
Fix atomicity of TIF update in flush_thread() for sparc64 Fixes correctly the race by using *_ti_thread_flag. Race : parent process executing : sys_ptrace() (lock_kernel()) (ptrace_get_task_struct(pid)) arch_ptrace() ptrace_detach() ptrace_disable(child); clear_singlestep(child); clear_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_SINGLESTEP); (which clears the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag atomically from a different process) (put_task_struct(child)) (unlock_kernel()) And at the same time, in the child process : sys_execve() do_execve() search_binary_handler() load_elf_binary() flush_old_exec() flush_thread() doing a non-atomic thread flag update Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Signed-off-by: David S.
