If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov commit 95cf00fa5d5e2a200a2c044c84bde8389a237e02 upstream. 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.
