Syscall numbers are actually 90 and 192 - sys_old_mmap and sys_mmap2 on
m68k. Used the calculator on my Ubuntu desktop, that appears to be a little
confused about hex to decimal conversions.

I hope that makes more sense?

Not really; what is the condition you are checking?  The interesting trace

The check in get_reg() is:


           if (WARN_ON_ONCE((off < PT_REG(d1)) &&
              test_ti_thread_status(task_thread_info(task),TIS_TRACING)
                   && !test_ti_thread_status(task_thread_info(task),
                                        TIS_ALLREGS_SAVED))) {
                   unsigned long *addr_d0;
addr_d0 = (unsigned long *)(task->thread.esp0 + regoff[16]); pr_err("get_reg with incomplete stack, regno %d offs %d orig_d0 %lx\n", regno, off, *addr_d0);
                   return 0;
           }


is not that with get_reg() - it's that of the process being traced.  You
are not accessing the stack of caller of ptrace(2) here, so you want to
know that SAVE_SWITCH_STACK had been done by the tracee, not tracer.

And if that had been strace ls, you have TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set for ls, so
	* ls hits system_call
	* notices TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE and goes to do_trace_entry
	* does SAVE_SWITCH_STACK there

... and sets both the new TIS_TRACING and TIS_ALLREGS_SAVED flags in the thread_info->status field (now that I've corrected my patch).

	* calls syscall_trace(), which calls ptrace_notify()
	* ptrace_notify() calls ptrace_do_notify(), which calls ptrace_stop()
	* ptrace_stop() arranges for tracer to be woken up and gives CPU up,
with TASK_TRACED as process state.

Thanks for explaining! So in order to get a trace for the process being traced, I would have to check the TIS_ALLREGS_SAVED in ptrace_stop()?

That's the callchain in ls, and switch_stack accessed by get_reg() from
strace is the one on ls(1) stack created by SAVE_SWITCH_STACK.

So testing for TIS_ALLREGS_SAVED in get_reg() (called by the tracer, but with the tracee's task struct passed to arch_ptrace()) does check that SAVE_SWITCH_STACK was done before the syscall in the tracee, right?

Anyway, I'd missed setting the flags for some crucial SAVE_SWITCH_STACK operations in my woefully incomplete patch. With that corrected, there's no more warning from mmap. I'll try with a more recent version of strace and gdb once I've updated my test image.

Cheers,

	Michael
