Subject: [PATCH] ptrace: fix PTRACE_LISTEN race corrupting task->state
Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2017 10:47:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <xm2637f7js85.fsf@bsegall-linux.mtv.corp.google.com> (raw)


In PT_SEIZED + LISTEN mode SIGSTOP/SIGCONT signals cause a wakeup
against __TASK_TRACED. If this races with the ptrace_unfreeze_traced at
the end of a PTRACE_LISTEN, this can wake the task /after/ the check
against __TASK_TRACED, but before the reset of state to TASK_TRACED.
This causes it to instead clobber TASK_WAKING, allowing a subsequent
wakeup against TASK_TRACED while the task is still on the rq wake_list,
corrupting it.
