Subject: [PATCH for 2.6.30] ptrace: revert "ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic"
Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2009 22:39:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090602203939.GA13939@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090602011318.GA2461@redhat.com>
Commit 95a3540da9c81a5987be810e1d9a83640a366bd5 removed the "extra"
wake_up_process() from ptrace_detach(), but as Jan pointed out this breaks
the compatibility.
I believe the changelog is right and this wake_up() is wrong in many ways.
But GDB assumes that ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, child, 0, 0) always wakes up the
tracee. Despite the fact this breaks SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED/group_stop_count logic,
and despite the fact this wake_up_process() can break another assumption:
PTRACE_DETACH with SIGSTOP should leave the tracee in TASK_STOPPED case.
Because the untraced child can dequeue SIGSTOP and call do_signal_stop()
before ptrace_detach() calls wake_up_process().
Revert this change for now. We need some fixes even if we we want to keep
the current behaviour, but these fixes are not for 2.6.30.
