Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ptrace: the killed tracee should not enter the syscall
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:32:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120210173259.GG8908@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120210173237.GF8908@redhat.com>

Another old/known problem. If the tracee is killed after it reports
syscall_entry, it starts the syscall and debugger can't control this.
This confuses the users and this creates the security problems for
ptrace jailers.

Change tracehook_report_syscall_entry() to return non-zero if killed,
this instructs syscall_trace_enter() to abort the syscall.
