This test-case (simplified version of generated by syzkaller)
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
void test(void)
{
for (;;) {
if (fork()) {
wait(NULL);
continue;
}
ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, getppid(), 0, 0);
ptrace(PTRACE_INTERRUPT, getppid(), 0, 0);
_exit(0);
}
}
int main(void)
{
int np;
for (np = 0; np < 8; ++np)
if (!fork())
test();
while (wait(NULL) > 0)
;
return 0;
}
triggers the 2nd WARN_ON_ONCE(!signr) warning in do_jobctl_trap(). The problem
is that __ptrace_unlink() clears task->jobctl under siglock but task->ptrace
is cleared without this lock held; this fools the "else" branch which assumes
that !PT_SEIZED means PT_PTRACED.
Note also that most of other PTRACE_SEIZE checks can race with detach from the
exiting tracer too. Say, the callers of ptrace_trap_notify() assume that SEIZED
can't go away after it was checked.
