In the change in commit 09a05394fe2448a4139b014936330af23fa7ec83, I
overlooked two nits in the logic and this broke using CLONE_PTRACE
when PTRACE_O_TRACE* are not being used.
A parent that is itself traced at all but not using PTRACE_O_TRACE*,
using CLONE_PTRACE would have its new child fail to be traced.
A parent that is not itself traced at all that uses CLONE_PTRACE
(which should be a no-op in this case) would confuse the bookkeeping
and lead to a crash at exit time.
This restores the missing checks and fixes both failure modes.

My commit 2b2a1ff64afbadac842bbc58c5166962cf4f7664 introduced a regression
(sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0).
This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite.
Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a
parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case).
This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a
"signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).

This adds asm-generic/syscall.h, which documents what a real
asm-ARCH/syscall.h file should define. This is not used yet, but will
provide all the machine-dependent details of examining a user system call
about to begin, in progress, or just ended.
Each arch should add an asm-ARCH/syscall.h that defines all the entry
points documented in asm-generic/syscall.h, as short inlines if possible.
This lets us write new tracing code that understands user system call
registers, without any new arch-specific work.

This adds tracehook.h inlines to enable a new arch feature in support of
user debugging/tracing. This is not used yet, but it lays the groundwork
for a debugger to be able to wrangle a task that's possibly running,
without interrupting its syscalls in progress.
Each arch should define TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and in their entry.S code treat
it much like TIF_SIGPENDING. That is, it causes you to take the slow path
when returning to user mode, where you get the full user-mode state
accessible as for signal handling or ptrace. The arch code should check
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME after handling TIF_SIGPENDING. When it's set, clear it
and then call tracehook_notify_resume().
In future, tracing code will call set_notify_resume() when it wants to get
a callback in tracehook_notify_resume().

This defines a new hook tracehook_force_sigpending() that lets tracing
code decide to force TIF_SIGPENDING on in recalc_sigpending().
This is not used yet, so it compiles away to nothing for now. It lays the
groundwork for new tracing code that can interrupt a task synthetically
without actually sending a signal.

This moves the ptrace logic in task death (exit_notify) into tracehook.h
inlines. Some code is rearranged slightly to make things nicer. There is
no change, only cleanup.
There is one hook called with the tasklist_lock write-locked, as ptrace
needs. There is also a new hook called after exit_state changes and
without locks. This is a better place for tracing work to be in the
future, since it doesn't delay the whole system with locking.

This defines the tracehook_get_signal() hook to allow tracing code to slip
in before normal signal dequeuing. This lays the groundwork for new
tracing features that can inject synthetic signals outside the normal
queue or control the disposition of delivered signals. The calling
convention lets tracehook_get_signal() decide both exactly what will
happen and what signal number to report in the handler/exit.

This moves the ptrace-related logic from release_task into tracehook.h and
ptrace.h inlines. It provides clean hooks both before and after locking
tasklist_lock, for future tracing logic to do more cleanup without the
lock.
This also changes release_task() itself in the rare "zap_leader" case to
set the leader to EXIT_DEAD before iterating. This maintains the
invariant that release_task() only ever handles a task in EXIT_DEAD. This
is a common-sense invariant that is already always true except in this one
arcane case of zombie leader whose parent ignores SIGCHLD.
This change is harmless and only costs one store in this one rare case.
It keeps the expected state more consisently sane, which is nicer when
debugging weirdness in release_task(). It also lets some future code in
the tracehook entry points rely on this invariant for bookkeeping.

This moves all the ptrace initialization and tracing logic for task
creation into tracehook.h and ptrace.h inlines. It reorganizes the code
slightly, but should not change any behavior.
There are four tracehook entry points, at each important stage of task
creation. This keeps the interface from the core fork.c code fairly
clean, while supporting the complex setup required for ptrace or something
like it.

This moves all the ptrace hooks related to exec into tracehook.h inlines.
This also lifts the calls for tracing out of the binfmt load_binary hooks
into search_binary_handler() after it calls into the binfmt module. This
change has no effect, since all the binfmt modules' load_binary functions
did the call at the end on success, and now search_binary_handler() does
it immediately after return if successful. We consolidate the repeated
code, and binfmt modules no longer need to import ptrace_notify().

This patch series introduces the "tracehook" interface layer of inlines in
<linux/tracehook.h>. There are more details in the log entry for patch
01/23 and in the header file comments inside that patch. Most of these
changes move code around with little or no change, and they should not
break anything or change any behavior.
This sets a new standard for uniform arch support to enable clean
arch-independent implementations of new debugging and tracing stuff,
denoted by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Patch 20/23 adds that symbol to
arch/Kconfig, with comments listing everything an arch has to do before
setting "select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK". These are elaborted a bit at:
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/arch/HowTo
The new inlines that arch code must define or call have detailed kerneldoc
comments in the generic header files that say what is required.
No arch is obligated to do any work, and no arch's build should be broken
by these changes. There are several steps that each arch should take so
it can set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Most of these are simple. Providing this
support will let new things people add for doing debugging and tracing of
user-level threads "just work" for your arch in the future. For an arch
that does not provide HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK, some new options for such
features will not be available for config.
I have done some arch work and will submit this to the arch maintainers
after the generic tracehook series settles in. For now, that work is
available in my GIT repositories, and in patch and mbox-of-patches form at
http://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/2.6-current/
This paves the way for my "utrace" work, to be submitted later. But it is
not innately tied to that. I hope that the tracehook series can go in
soon regardless of what eventually does or doesn't go on top of it. For
anyone implementing any kind of new tracing/debugging plan, or just
understanding all the context of the existing ptrace implementation,
having tracehook.h makes things much easier to find and understand.
This patch:
This adds the new kernel-internal header file <linux/tracehook.h>. This
is not yet used at all. The comments in the header introduce what the
following series of patches is about.
The aim is to formalize and consolidate all the places that the core
kernel code and the arch code now ties into the ptrace implementation.
These patches mostly don't cause any functional change. They just move
the details of ptrace logic out of core code into tracehook.h inlines,
where they are mostly compiled away to the same as before. All that
changes is that everything is thoroughly documented and any future
reworking of ptrace, or addition of something new, would not have to touch
core code all over, just change the tracehook.h inlines.
The new linux/ptrace.h inlines are used by the following patches in the
new tracehook_*() inlines. Using these helpers for the ptrace event stops
makes it simple to change or disable the old ptrace implementation of
these stops conditionally later.
