Subject: [RFC] ptrace, pidfd: add pidfd_ptrace syscall
Date:   Sun, 26 Apr 2020 15:01:00 +0200
Message-Id: <20200426130100.306246-1-hagen@jauu.net>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Precedence: bulk

Working on a safety-critical stress testing tool, using ptrace in an
rather uncommon way (stop, peeking memory, ...) for a bunch of
applications in an automated way I realized that once opened processes
where restarted and PIDs recycled.  Resulting in monitoring and
manipulating the wrong processes.

With the advent of pidfd we are now able to stick with one stable handle
to identifying processes exactly. We now have the ability to get this
race free. Sending signals now works like a charm, next step is to
extend the functionality also for ptrace.

API:
         long pidfd_ptrace(int pidfd, enum __ptrace_request request,
                           void *addr, void *data, unsigned flags);

Based on original ptrace, the following API changes where made:

- Process identificator (pidfd) is now moved as first argument, this is aligned
  with pidfd_send_signal(int pidfd, ...) because potential future pidfd_* will have
  one thing in common: the pid identifier. I think is natural to have
  this argument upfront
- Add an additional flags argument, not used now - but you never know

All other arguments are identical compared to ptrace - no other
modifications where made.

Currently there are some pieces missing! This is just an early proposal
for a new syscall. Still missing:
- support for every architecture
- re-use shared functions and move to common place
- perf syscall registration
- selftests
- ...
