[PATCH v6 0/6] ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API

[PATCH v6 0/6] ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API

[Dmitry V. Levin]

PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO is a generic ptrace API that complements
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO by letting the ptracer modify details of
system calls the tracee is blocked in.

This API allows ptracers to obtain and modify system call details in a
straightforward and architecture-agnostic way, providing a consistent way
of manipulating the system call number and arguments across architectures.

As in case of PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO, PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO also
does not aim to address numerous architecture-specific system call ABI
peculiarities, like differences in the number of system call arguments
for such system calls as pread64 and preadv.

The current implementation supports changing only those bits of system call
information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall
number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value.

Support of changing additional details returned by PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO,
such as instruction pointer and stack pointer, could be added later if
needed, by using struct ptrace_syscall_info.flags to specify the additional
details that should be set.  Currently, "flags" and "reserved" fields of
struct ptrace_syscall_info must be initialized with zeroes; "arch",
"instruction_pointer", and "stack_pointer" fields are currently ignored.

PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO currently supports only PTRACE_SYSCALL_INFO_ENTRY,
PTRACE_SYSCALL_INFO_EXIT, and PTRACE_SYSCALL_INFO_SECCOMP operations.
Other operations could be added later if needed.

Ideally, PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO should have been introduced along with
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO, but it didn't happen.  The last straw that
convinced me to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO was apparent failure
to provide an API of changing the first system call argument on riscv
architecture [1].

ptrace(2) man page:

long ptrace(enum __ptrace_request request, pid_t pid, void *addr, void *data);
...
PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO
       Modify information about the system call that caused the stop.
       The "data" argument is a pointer to struct ptrace_syscall_info
       that specifies the system call information to be set.
       The "addr" argument should be set to sizeof(struct ptrace_syscall_info)).

[PATCH v6 2/6] syscall.h: add syscall_set_arguments()

[Dmitry V. Levin]

This function is going to be needed on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK
architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API.

This partially reverts commit 7962c2eddbfe ("arch: remove unused
function syscall_set_arguments()") by reusing some of old
syscall_set_arguments() implementations.

[PATCH v6 3/6] syscall.h: introduce syscall_set_nr()

[Dmitry V. Levin]

Similar to syscall_set_arguments() that complements
syscall_get_arguments(), introduce syscall_set_nr()
that complements syscall_get_nr().

syscall_set_nr() is going to be needed along with
syscall_set_arguments() on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK
architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API.

-- given MIPS syscall_set_nr() implementation in 3/6 this conditional is 
supposed to never be true.  Should it be BUG_ON() or discarded entirely?

 That label is called `trace_a_syscall' in arch/mips/kernel/scall64-o32.S 
instead.  To bring some order and avoid an inaccuracy here should the odd 
one be matched to the other three?
