When ptrace_detach() takes tasklist, the tracee can be SIGKILL'ed. If it
has already passed exit_notify() we can leak a zombie, because a) ptracing
disables the auto-reaping logic, and b) ->real_parent was not notified
about the child's death.
ptrace_detach() should follow the ptrace_exit's logic, change the code
accordingly.

Impact: introduce new ptrace facility
Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer
detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies);
ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach.
Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a
traced task is forked.
Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork.
Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This
releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do
that when the traced task dies.

In the change in commit 09a05394fe, I
overlooked two nits in the logic and this broke using CLONE_PTRACE
when PTRACE_O_TRACE* are not being used.
A parent that is itself traced at all but not using PTRACE_O_TRACE*,
using CLONE_PTRACE would have its new child fail to be traced.
A parent that is not itself traced at all that uses CLONE_PTRACE
(which should be a no-op in this case) would confuse the bookkeeping
and lead to a crash at exit time.
This restores the missing checks and fixes both failure modes.

This moves the ptrace-related logic from release_task into tracehook.h and
ptrace.h inlines. It provides clean hooks both before and after locking
tasklist_lock, for future tracing logic to do more cleanup without the
lock.
This also changes release_task() itself in the rare "zap_leader" case to
set the leader to EXIT_DEAD before iterating. This maintains the
invariant that release_task() only ever handles a task in EXIT_DEAD. This
is a common-sense invariant that is already always true except in this one
arcane case of zombie leader whose parent ignores SIGCHLD.
This change is harmless and only costs one store in this one rare case.
It keeps the expected state more consisently sane, which is nicer when
debugging weirdness in release_task(). It also lets some future code in
the tracehook entry points rely on this invariant for bookkeeping.

This patch series introduces the "tracehook" interface layer of inlines in
<linux/tracehook.h>. There are more details in the log entry for patch
01/23 and in the header file comments inside that patch. Most of these
changes move code around with little or no change, and they should not
break anything or change any behavior.
This sets a new standard for uniform arch support to enable clean
arch-independent implementations of new debugging and tracing stuff,
denoted by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Patch 20/23 adds that symbol to
arch/Kconfig, with comments listing everything an arch has to do before
setting "select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK". These are elaborted a bit at:
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/arch/HowTo
The new inlines that arch code must define or call have detailed kerneldoc
comments in the generic header files that say what is required.
No arch is obligated to do any work, and no arch's build should be broken
by these changes. There are several steps that each arch should take so
it can set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Most of these are simple. Providing this
support will let new things people add for doing debugging and tracing of
user-level threads "just work" for your arch in the future. For an arch
that does not provide HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK, some new options for such
features will not be available for config.
I have done some arch work and will submit this to the arch maintainers
after the generic tracehook series settles in. For now, that work is
available in my GIT repositories, and in patch and mbox-of-patches form at
http://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/2.6-current/
This paves the way for my "utrace" work, to be submitted later. But it is
not innately tied to that. I hope that the tracehook series can go in
soon regardless of what eventually does or doesn't go on top of it. For
anyone implementing any kind of new tracing/debugging plan, or just
understanding all the context of the existing ptrace implementation,
having tracehook.h makes things much easier to find and understand.
This patch:
This adds the new kernel-internal header file <linux/tracehook.h>. This
is not yet used at all. The comments in the header introduce what the
following series of patches is about.
The aim is to formalize and consolidate all the places that the core
kernel code and the arch code now ties into the ptrace implementation.
These patches mostly don't cause any functional change. They just move
the details of ptrace logic out of core code into tracehook.h inlines,
where they are mostly compiled away to the same as before. All that
changes is that everything is thoroughly documented and any future
reworking of ptrace, or addition of something new, would not have to touch
core code all over, just change the tracehook.h inlines.
The new linux/ptrace.h inlines are used by the following patches in the
new tracehook_*() inlines. Using these helpers for the ptrace event stops
makes it simple to change or disable the old ptrace implementation of
these stops conditionally later.

Enable security modules to distinguish reading of process state via
proc from full ptrace access by renaming ptrace_may_attach to
ptrace_may_access and adding a mode argument indicating whether only
read access or full attach access is requested. This allows security
modules to permit access to reading process state without granting
full ptrace access. The base DAC/capability checking remains unchanged.
Read access to /proc/pid/mem continues to apply a full ptrace attach
check since check_mem_permission() already requires the current task
to already be ptracing the target. The other ptrace checks within
proc for elements like environ, maps, and fds are changed to pass the
read mode instead of attach.
In the SELinux case, we model such reading of process state as a
reading of a proc file labeled with the target process' label. This
enables SELinux policy to permit such reading of process state without
permitting control or manipulation of the target process, as there are
a number of cases where programs probe for such information via proc
but do not need to be able to control the target (e.g. procps,
lsof, PolicyKit, ConsoleKit). At present we have to choose between
allowing full ptrace in policy (more permissive than required/desired)
or breaking functionality (or in some cases just silencing the denials
via dontaudit rules but this can hide genuine attacks).
This version of the patch incorporates comments from Casey Schaufler
(change/replace existing ptrace_may_attach interface, pass access
mode), and Chris Wright (provide greater consistency in the checking).
Note that like their predecessors __ptrace_may_attach and
ptrace_may_attach, the __ptrace_may_access and ptrace_may_access
interfaces use different return value conventions from each other (0
or -errno vs. 1 or 0). I retained this difference to avoid any
changes to the caller logic but made the difference clearer by
changing the latter interface to return a bool rather than an int and
by adding a comment about it to ptrace.h for any future callers.

After a lot of reading the code and thinking about how it behaves I have
managed to figure out what the current ptrace locking rules are. The
current code is in much better that it appears at first glance. The
troublesome code paths are actually the code paths that violate the current
rules.
ptrace uses simple exclusive access as it's locking. You can only touch
task->ptrace if the task is stopped and you are the ptracer, or if the task
is running and are the task itself.
Very simple, very easy to maintain. It just needs to be documented so
people know not to touch ptrace from elsewhere.
Currently we do have a few pieces of code that are in violation of this
rule. Particularly the core dump code, and ptrace_attach. But so far the
code looks fixable.

Adds a new ptrace(2) mode, called PTRACE_SYSEMU, resembling PTRACE_SYSCALL
except that the kernel does not execute the requested syscall; this is useful
to improve performance for virtual environments, like UML, which want to run
the syscall on their own.
In fact, using PTRACE_SYSCALL means stopping child execution twice, on entry
and on exit, and each time you also have two context switches; with SYSEMU you
avoid the 2nd stop and so save two context switches per syscall.
Also, some architectures don't have support in the host for changing the
syscall number via ptrace(), which is currently needed to skip syscall
execution (UML turns any syscall into getpid() to avoid it being executed on
the host). Fixing that is hard, while SYSEMU is easier to implement.
* This version of the patch includes some suggestions of Jeff Dike to avoid
adding any instructions to the syscall fast path, plus some other little
changes, by myself, to make it work even when the syscall is executed with
SYSENTER (but I'm unsure about them). It has been widely tested for quite a
lot of time.
* Various fixed were included to handle the various switches between
various states, i.e. when for instance a syscall entry is traced with one of
PT_SYSCALL / _SYSEMU / _SINGLESTEP and another one is used on exit.
Basically, this is done by remembering which one of them was used even after
the call to ptrace_notify().
* We're combining TIF_SYSCALL_EMU with TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SINGLESTEP
to make do_syscall_trace() notice that the current syscall was started with
SYSEMU on entry, so that no notification ought to be done in the exit path;
this is a bit of a hack, so this problem is solved in another way in next
patches.
* Also, the effects of the patch:
"Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction with singlestep"
are cancelled; they are restored back in the last patch of this series.
Detailed descriptions of the patches doing this kind of processing follow (but
I've already summed everything up).
* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #1.
In do_syscall_trace(), we check the status of the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag
only after doing the debugger notification; but the debugger might have
changed the status of this flag because he continued execution with
PTRACE_SYSCALL, so this is wrong. This patch fixes it by saving the flag
status before calling ptrace_notify().
* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #2:
avoid intercepting syscall on return when using SYSCALL again.
A guest process switching from using PTRACE_SYSEMU to PTRACE_SYSCALL
crashes.
The problem is in arch/i386/kernel/entry.S. The current SYSEMU patch
inhibits the syscall-handler to be called, but does not prevent
do_syscall_trace() to be called after this for syscall completion
interception.
The appended patch fixes this. It reuses the flag TIF_SYSCALL_EMU to
remember "we come from PTRACE_SYSEMU and now are in PTRACE_SYSCALL", since
the flag is unused in the depicted situation.
* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #3:
avoid intercepting syscall on return when using SINGLESTEP.
When testing 2.6.9 and the skas3.v6 patch, with my latest patch and had
problems with singlestepping on UML in SKAS with SYSEMU. It looped
receiving SIGTRAPs without moving forward. EIP of the traced process was
the same for all SIGTRAPs.
What's missing is to handle switching from PTRACE_SYSCALL_EMU to
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP in a way very similar to what is done for the change from
PTRACE_SYSCALL_EMU to PTRACE_SYSCALL_TRACE.
I.e., after calling ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU), on the return path, the debugger is
notified and then wake ups the process; the syscall is executed (or skipped,
when do_syscall_trace() returns 0, i.e. when using PTRACE_SYSEMU), and
do_syscall_trace() is called again. Since we are on the return path of a
SYSEMU'd syscall, if the wake up is performed through ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL),
we must still avoid notifying the parent of the syscall exit. Now, this
behaviour is extended even to resuming with PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.
