See http://marc.info/?t=127550678000005 and
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16061
- the tracee reports a signal SIG
- the tracer does ptrace(SINGLESTEP, SIG), this approves the signal
and also sets TF
- the tracee dequeues the signal, changes its IP to sig_handler().
then it notices TIF_SINGLESTEP and notifies the tracer without
return to user-space _and_ without clearing TF or TIF_SINGLESTEP
- the tracer does ptrace(SINGLESTEP) again, but now enable_single_step()
looses TIF_FORCED_TF.
- the tracer does ptrace(CONT), but user_disable_single_step() doesn't
clear TF since TIF_FORCED_TF is not set
- the tracee returns to user-space with X86_EFLAGS_TF in eflags
Somehow we forgot about this bug...
Oleg.
