Imho, the current usage of security_task_wait() is not logical. Suppose we have the single child p, and security_task_wait(p) return -EANY. In that case waitpid(-1) returns this error. Why? Isn't it better to return ECHLD? We don't really have reapable children. Now suppose that child was stolen by gdb. In that case we find this child on ->ptrace_children and set flag = 1, but we don't check that the child was denied. So, do_wait(..., WNOHANG) returns 0, this doesn't match the behaviour above. Without WNOHANG do_wait() blocks only to return the error later, when the child will be untraced. Inho, really strange. I think eligible_child() should return the error only if the child's pid was requested explicitly, otherwise we should silently ignore the tasks which were nacked by security_task_wait().

eligible_child() == 2 means delay_group_leader(). With the previous patch this only matters for EXIT_ZOMBIE task, we can move that special check to the only place it is really needed. Also, with this patch we don't skip security_task_wait() for the group leaders in a non-empty thread group. I don't really understand the exact semantics of security_task_wait(), but imho this change is a bugfix. Also rearrange the code a bit to kill an ugly "check_continued" backdoor. Signed-off-by:

wait_task_stopped() doesn't need the "delay_group_leader" parameter. If the child is not traced it must be a group leader. With or without subthreads ->group_stop_count == 0 when the whole task is stopped. Signed-off-by:

If the tracer is gone and we are not going to stop, ptrace_stop() sets ->exit_code = nostop_code. However, the tracer could actually clear the exit code before detaching. In that case get_signal_to_deliver() "resends" the signal which was cancelled by the debugger. For example, it is possible that a quick PTRACE_ATTACH + PTRACE_DETACH can leave the tracee in STOPPED state. Change the behaviour of ptrace_stop(). If the caller is ptrace notify(), we should always clear ->exit_code. If the caller is get_signal_to_deliver(), we should not touch it at all. To do so, change the nonstop_code parameter to "bool clear_code" and change the callers accordingly. Signed-off-by:

wait_task_stopped() has multiple races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL. tasklist_lock does not pin the child in TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED stated, almost all info reported (including exit_code) may be wrong. In fact, the code under write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) is not safe. The child may be PTRACE_DETACH'ed at this time by another subthread, in that case it is possible we are no longer its ->parent. Change wait_task_stopped() to take ->siglock before inspecting the task. This guarantees that the child can't resume and (for example) clear its ->exit_code, so we don't need to use xchg(&p->exit_code) and re-check. The only exception is ptrace_stop() which changes ->state and ->exit_code without ->siglock held during abort. But this can only happen if both the tracer and the tracee are dying (coredump is in progress), we don't care. With this patch wait_task_stopped() doesn't move the child to the end of the ->parent list on success. This optimization could be restored, but in that case we have to take write_lock(tasklist) and do some nasty checks. Also change the do_wait() since we don't return EAGAIN any longer.

If the tracer went away (may_ptrace_stop() failed), ptrace_stop() drops tasklist and then changes the ->state from TASK_TRACED to TASK_RUNNING. This can fool another tracer which attaches to us in between. Change the ->state under tasklist_lock to ensure that ptrace_check_attach() can't wrongly succeed. Also, remove the unnecessary mb().

It is not possible to see the PT_PTRACED task without ->signal/sighand under tasklist_lock, release_task() does ptrace_unlink() first. If the task was already released before, ptrace_attach() can't succeed and set PT_PTRACED. Remove this check. Signed-off-by:

Now that my_ptrace_child() is trivial we can use the "p->ptrace & PT_PTRACED" inline and simplify the corresponding logic in do_wait: we can't find the child in TASK_TRACED state without PT_PTRACED flag set, ptrace_untrace() either sets TASK_STOPPED or wakes up the tracee. Signed-off-by:

Since the patch "Fix ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme()/de_thread() race" commit f5b40e36 we set PT_ATTACHED and change child->parent "atomically" wrt task_list lock. This means we can remove the checks like "PT_ATTACHED && ->parent != ptracer" which were needed to catch the "ptrace attach is in progress" case. We can also remove the flag itself since nobody else uses it. Signed-off-by:

sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns() are all called when an ipc_namespace is released to free all ipcs of each type. But in fact, they do the same thing: they loop around all ipcs to free them individually by calling a specific routine. This patch proposes to consolidate this by introducing a common function, free_ipcs(), that do the job. The specific routine to call on each individual ipcs is passed as parameter. For this, these ipc-specific 'free' routines are reworked to take a generic 'struct ipc_perm' as parameter. Signed-off-by:

Each ipc_namespace contains a table of 3 pointers to struct ipc_ids (3 for msg, sem and shm, structure used to store all ipcs) These 'struct ipc_ids' are dynamically allocated for each icp_namespace as the ipc_namespace itself (for the init namespace, they are initialized with pointers to static variables instead) It is so for historical reason: in fact, before the use of idr to store the ipcs, the ipcs were stored in tables of variable length, depending of the maximum number of ipc allowed. Now, these 'struct ipc_ids' have a fixed size. As they are allocated in any cases for each new ipc_namespace, there is no gain of memory in having them allocated separately of the struct ipc_namespace. This patch proposes to make this table static in the struct ipc_namespace. Thus, we can allocate all in once and get rid of all the code needed to allocate and free these ipc_ids separately.

These commands (SEM_STAT and IPC_STAT) are rather doing the same things (only the meaning of the id given as input and the return value differ). However, for the semaphores, they are handled in two different places (two different functions). This patch consolidates this for clarification by handling these both commands in the same place in semctl_nolock(). It also removes one unused parameter for this function. Signed-off-by:

ipc_lock_check_down(), ipc_lock_check() and ipcget() seem too large to be inline. Besides, they give no optimization being inline as they perform calls inside in any case.

Typical PDE creation code looks like: pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL); if (pde) pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops; Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to final value. This is a problem because right after creation a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below). The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like: pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops); if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; Fix most networking users for a start. In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.

Long ago when the CLONE_THREAD support first went it someone thought it would be wise to point /proc/self at /proc/<tgid> instead of /proc/<pid>. Given that /proc/<tgid> can return information about a very different task (if enough things have been unshared) then our current process /proc/<tgid> seems blatantly wrong. So far I have yet to think up an example where the current behavior would be advantageous, and I can see several places where it is seriously non-intuitive. We may be stuck with the current broken behavior for backwards compatibility reasons but lets try fixing our ancient bug for the 2.6.25 time frame and see if anyone screams. Signed-off-by:
