From 8cb3ed13935b9b523c2de7afc8f68473fe1d4531 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:12:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: ptrace: set TS_COMPAT when 32-bit ptrace sets orig_eax>=0 The 32-bit ptrace syscall on a 64-bit kernel (32-bit debugger on 32-bit task) behaves differently than a native 32-bit kernel. When setting a register state of orig_eax>=0 and eax=-ERESTART* when the debugged task is NOT on its way out of a 32-bit syscall, the task will fail to do the syscall restart logic that it should do. Test case available at http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/erestartsys-trap.c?cvsroot=systemtap This happens because the 32-bit ptrace syscall sets eax=0xffffffff when it sets orig_eax>=0. The resuming task will not sign-extend this for the -ERESTART* check because TS_COMPAT is not set. (So the task thinks it is restarting after a 64-bit syscall, not a 32-bit one.) The fix is to have 32-bit ptrace calls set TS_COMPAT when setting orig_eax>=0. This ensures that the 32-bit syscall restart logic will apply when the child resumes.
