ptrace/um: Replace PT_DTRACE with TIF_SINGLESTEP

User mode linux is the last user of the PT_DTRACE flag. Using the flag to indicate
single stepping is a little confusing and worse changing tsk->ptrace without locking
could potentionally cause problems.

So use a thread info flag with a better name instead of flag in tsk->ptrace.

Remove the definition PT_DTRACE as uml is the last user.

signal: Remove the task parameter from force_sig_fault

As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.

The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.

The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:

force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
->
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

# 96d4f267 03-Jan-2019 Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)

- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

signal/um: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate

Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and
error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.

Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault. Which
takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
and then calls force_sig_info.

In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info
is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

um: Remove SKAS3/4 support

Before we had SKAS0 UML had two modes of operation
TT (tracing thread) and SKAS3/4 (separated kernel address space).
TT was known to be insecure and got removed a long time ago.
SKAS3/4 required a few (3 or 4) patches on the host side which never went
mainline. The last host patch is 10 years old.

With SKAS0 mode (separated kernel address space using 0 host patches),
default since 2005, SKAS3/4 is obsolete and can be removed.

Every arch calls:

if (unlikely(current->audit_context))

# d7e7528b 03-Jan-2012 Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h

The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the
layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic
is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.

We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit
function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
arch correct structure to dereference it.

The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.

In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this
patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].

For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the
regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is
always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
before calling the audit code when appropriate.

Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the

causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.

Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't which is consistent with all architectures using the
modern ptrace code.

# 86d6f2bf 12-Mar-2009 Renzo Davoli <renzo@cs.unibo.it>

UML on UML fixed: it did not start

It is currently impossible to run a user-mode linux machine inside another
user-mode linux (UML on UML). It breaks after a few instructions. When
it tries to check whether SYSEMU is installed (the inner) UML receives an
inconsistent result (from the outer UML).

This is the output of a broken attempt:
$ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow
Locating the bottom of the address space ... 0x0
Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000
Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK
Checking ptrace new tags for syscall emulation...unsupported
Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...check_sysemu : expected SIGTRAP, got status = 256
$

The problem is the following:

PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um.

PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch,
therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in
kernel/ptrace).

This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes
the problem.

This patch fixes some missing ptrace bits on x86_64. PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is
hooked up and implemented. This required generalizing arch_prctl_skas
slightly to take a task_struct to modify. Previously, it always operated on
current.

Reading and writing the debug registers is also enabled by un-ifdefing the
code that implements that. It turns out that x86_64 is identical to i386, so
the same code can be used.

[PATCH] uml: implement {get,set}_thread_area for i386

Implement sys_[gs]et_thread_area and the corresponding ptrace operations for
UML. This is the main chunk, additional parts follow. This implementation is
now well tested and has run reliably for some time, and we've understood all
the previously existing problems.

Their implementation saves the new GDT content and then forwards the call to
the host when appropriate, i.e. immediately when the target process is
running or on context switch otherwise (i.e. on fork and on ptrace() calls).

In SKAS mode, we must switch registers on each context switch (because SKAS
does not switches tls_array together with current->mm).

Also, added get_cpu() locking; this has been done for SKAS mode, since TT does
not need it (it does not use smp_processor_id()).

[PATCH] consolidate sys_ptrace()

The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch
statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures.
This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as
arch_ptrace.

Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them.
They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a
sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call.
For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but
SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL isn't defined anywhere in the tree.

[PATCH] uml: small fixes left over from rc4

Some changes that I sent in didn't make 2.6.12-rc4 for some reason. This
adds them back. We have
an x86_64 definition of TOP_ADDR
a reimplementation of the x86_64 csum_partial_copy_from_user
some syntax fixes in arch/um/kernel/ptrace.c
removal of a CFLAGS definition in the x86_64 Makefile
some include changes in the x86_64 ptrace.c and user-offsets.h
a syntax fix in elf-x86_64.h
Also moved an include in the i386 and x86_64 Makefiles to make the symlinks
work, and some small fixes from Al Viro.

[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, peekusr/pokeusr defined by subarch

s390 needs to change some parts of arch/um/kernel/ptrace.c. Thus, the code
regarding PEEKUSER and POKEUSER are shifted to arch/um/sys-<subarch>/ptrace.c.

Also s390 debug registers need to be updated, when singlestepping is switched
on / off. Thus, setting/resetting of singlestepping is centralized in the new
function set_singlestep(), which also inserts the macro
SUBARCH_SET_SINGLESTEP(mode), if defined.

Finally, s390 has the "ieee_instruction_pointer" in its
registers, which also is allowed to be read via

ptrace( PTRACE_PEEKUSER, getpid(), PT_IEEE_IP, 0);

To implement this feature, sys_ptrace inserts the macro
SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL, if defined.

[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, abstract host page fault data

This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and
skas-regs.

It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in
sysdep/faultinfo.h.

The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and
thread.regs.tt

Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo
to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment.

Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to

FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo)
extracts the faulting address from faultinfo

FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo)
extracts the "is_write" flag

SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo)
is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14)
on i386

UPT_FAULTINFO(regs)
result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo
in regs->skas.faultinfo

GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *)
copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to
struct faultinfo.

On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture
provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is
missing, because segv-stub will provide the info.

The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can
give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault
handling.

Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(),
I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
