This test creates two processes: a tracer and a tracee. The tracer actively
sends a SIGUSR1 signal in user mode to interrupt the read syscall being
executed by the tracee. We will reset a0/orig_a0 and then observe the value
of a0 held by the restarted read syscall.

I don't quite follow what the goal of this test is. With orig_a0 being
added to the previous patch for ptrace, a more constrained test could
ensure that this value is respected.


Sry, I may not have described the patch clearly enough. This patch provides a channel for modifying a0 in user-space ptrace via orig_a0. Here, I will try to outline the whole situation:

1、When the tracer calls ptrace to modify regs->a0, can the tracee's a0 be correctly modified?

Through testing, if the user only modifies regs->a0, it doesn't work. Why?

The execution flow of the tracee in the test program is as follows.Prior to this explanation:

- PTRACE_SYSCALL can make the tracee block before and after executing
  a syscall.
- The tracer sends SIGUSR1 to interrupt read, and the kernel will
  restart it.
- Please note the point marked with (*), which I believe is the cause
  of the issue.

    | EXPECT_NE(0x5, result); //for PTRACE_SETREGSSET a0, failed
    | EXPECT_EQ(0x5, result); //for PTRACE_SETREGSSET orig_a0, succeed

If I'm wrong, please let me know. 🙂

2、Actually, I discovered the issue while using the execve function.
When I tried to modify the first parameter of execve in the tracer,
I found it didn't work.

As for why not use execve for testing, there are two reasons:

1) The root cause of this issue is that when a syscall is interrupted
and then resumed, it restarts with orig_a0 instead of a0, so modifying
a0 doesn't work. I want to focus the test on the "restarted syscall".

2) Compared to the current test scenario, execve is terminated by ptrace
earlier, so I chose a later point. In fact, setting regs->a0 in the path
between (*1) and (*3) is ineffective because it will eventually be overwritten by orig_a0, correct?

The current test may not intuitively reflect the issue. If possible, I will provide a more comprehensive test based on everyone's suggestions.

Thanks,
Quan


Compared to the test program, a more common scenario is the use of the
exece syscall, which sends a signal in the kernel path to restart
the syscall.

The gitignore should contain a list of all of the generated binaries
that should be ignored. Can you put ptrace_restart_syscall in here
instead of abi?


...yeah, I will fix it later.

How does the value end up being 5?

The tracer ultimately sets `fd_zero` to the restarted syscall.

Since 0, 1, and 2 are standard input, output, and error, the file descriptors will be allocated in this order: `p[0] -> p[1] -> fd_zero`. Thus, fd_zero will be 5.
