[PATCH 2/2] alpha/ptrace: Add missing switch_stack frames

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With the introduction of PTRACE_EVENT_XXX flags during the 2.5
development cycle it became possible for ptrace to write arbitrary
data to alpha kernel stack frames because it was assumed that wherever
ptrace_stop was called both a pt_regs and a switch_stack were saved
upon the stack.

The introduction of TIF_ALLREGS_SAVED removed the assumption that
switch_stack was saved on the kernel thread by transforming the
problem into a lesser bug where the access simply don't work.

Saving struct switch_stack has to happen on the lowest level of the
stack on alpha because it contains caller saved registers, which will
be saved by the C code in arbitrary locations on the stack if the data
is not saved immediately.

Update kernel threads to save a full set of userspace registers on
the stack so that io_uring threads can be ptraced.

Update fork, vfork, clone, exit, exit_group, execve, and execveat to
save all of the userspace registers when the are called as there are
known PTRACE_EVENT_XXX ptrace stop points in those functions where
registers can be manipulated.

The switch_stack frames serve double duty in fork, vfork, and clone,
as both the the childs inputs to alpha_switch_to, and the parents
saved copy of the registers for debuggers to modify.  This changes
marks the the frame is present in the parent, and clears
TIF_ALLREGS_SAVED in the child as alpha_switch_to will consume the
switch_stack when the child is started.
