Executing a ptrace single step after certain int80 accesses will infinitely loop and never advance the PC. The TIF_SINGLESTEP check should be done on the return from the syscall and not before it. The new test case is below: /* Test whether singlestep through an int80 syscall works. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include static int child, status; static struct user_regs_struct regs; static void do_child() { char str[80] = "child: int80 test\n"; ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, 0, 0); kill(getpid(), SIGUSR1); write(fileno(stdout),str,strlen(str)); asm ("int $0x80" : : "a" (20)); /* getpid */ } static void do_parent() { unsigned long eip, expected = 0; again: waitpid(child, &status, 0); if (WIFEXITED(status) || WIFSIGNALED(status)) return; if (WIFSTOPPED(status)) { ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, child, 0, ®s); eip = regs.eip; if (expected) fprintf(stderr, "child stop @ %08lx, expected %08lx %s\n", eip, expected, eip == expected ? "" : " <== ERROR"); if (*(unsigned short *)eip == 0x80cd) { fprintf(stderr, "int 0x80 at %08x\n", (unsigned int)eip); expected = eip + 2; } else expected = 0; ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, child, NULL, NULL); } goto again; } int main(int argc, char * const argv[]) { child = fork(); if (child) do_parent(); else do_child(); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Chuck Ebbert Signed-off-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- diff --git a/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S b/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S index 5e47683fc63ae..9bf056ee83ffa 100644 --- a/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S +++ b/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S @@ -367,10 +367,6 @@ ENTRY(system_call) CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET 4 SAVE_ALL GET_THREAD_INFO(%ebp) - testl $TF_MASK,PT_EFLAGS(%esp) - jz no_singlestep - orl $_TIF_SINGLESTEP,TI_flags(%ebp) -no_singlestep: # system call tracing in operation / emulation /* Note, _TIF_SECCOMP is bit number 8, and so it needs testw and not testb */ testw $(_TIF_SYSCALL_EMU|_TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE|_TIF_SECCOMP|_TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT),TI_flags(%ebp) @@ -385,6 +381,10 @@ syscall_exit: # setting need_resched or sigpending # between sampling and the iret TRACE_IRQS_OFF + testl $TF_MASK,PT_EFLAGS(%esp) # If tracing set singlestep flag on exit + jz no_singlestep + orl $_TIF_SINGLESTEP,TI_flags(%ebp) +no_singlestep: movl TI_flags(%ebp), %ecx testw $_TIF_ALLWORK_MASK, %cx # current->work jne syscall_exit_work
