Subject: [uml-devel] UML vs ptrace_scope
Date: Fri, 17 May 2013 06:43:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9106.1368787383@sandelman.ca> (raw)


I have been trying to bring the openswan nightly build system up again
on a newish system.   I started these scripts back in 2002, and it has been running
on and off for many years, and many kernel revisions.  
I started this most recent effort work when 3.5 was stable, so my guest
kernel is a 3.5 kernel running on a debian squeeze host with a 2.6.26
kernel.   I compile things fine.
With 2.6.26, I got:

...
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...ptrace: Operation
not permitted
check_ptrace : expected SIGSTOP, got status = 9

I upgraded to wheezy (needed to be done anyway), and then felt that I
ran run into the ptrace_scope problem.  At least, that's what I thought.
I installed a 3.8 debian kernel tree, patched it to enable YAMA, and
booted that finally.  I set:
   kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 0

but this does not affect the above error.  Is there something else I am
missing?    I tried adding the capability, but it doesn't help.

/btmp/build/HEAD/2013_05_12/openswan-2/UMLPOOL/plain26/linux =
cap_sys_ptrace+ep

No I suspect the problem is elsewhere.
Is there something else I am missing?
