This introduces signal->unsafe_execve_in_progress, which is used to fix the case when at least one of the sibling threads is traced, and therefore the trace process may dead-lock in ptrace_attach, but de_thread will need to wait for the tracer to continue execution. The solution is to detect this situation and allow ptrace_attach to continue, while de_thread() is still waiting for traced zombies to be eventually released. When the current thread changed the ptrace status from non-traced to traced, we can simply abort the whole execve and restart it by returning -ERESTARTSYS. This needs to be done before changing the thread leader, because the PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC needs to know the old thread pid. Although it is technically after the point of no return, we just have to reset bprm->point_of_no_return here, since at this time only the other threads have received a fatal signal, not the current thread. >From the user's point of view the whole execve was simply delayed until after the ptrace_attach. Other threads die quickly since the cred_guard_mutex is released, but a deadly signal is already pending. In case the mutex_lock_killable misses the signal, ->unsafe_execve_in_progress makes sure they release the mutex immediately and return with -ERESTARTNOINTR. This means there is no API change, unlike the previous version of this patch which was discussed here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/b6537ae6-31b1-5c50-f32b-8b8332ace882@xxxxxxxxxx/ See tools/testing/selftests/ptrace/vmaccess.c for a test case that gets fixed by this change. Note that since the test case was originally designed to test the ptrace_attach returning an error in this situation, the test expectation needed to be adjusted, to allow the API to succeed at the first attempt.
