Commit Message

Keno Fischer May 15, 2020, 10:22 p.m. UTC
Quoth the man page:
```
       If the tracee was restarted by PTRACE_SYSCALL or PTRACE_SYSEMU, the
       tracee enters syscall-enter-stop just prior to entering any system
       call (which will not be executed if the restart was using
       PTRACE_SYSEMU, regardless of any change made to registers at this
       point or how the tracee is restarted after this stop).
```

The parenthetical comment is currently true on x86 and powerpc,
but not currently true on arm64. arm64 re-checks the _TIF_SYSCALL_EMU
flag after the syscall entry ptrace stop. However, at this point,
it reflects which method was used to re-start the syscall
at the entry stop, rather than the method that was used to reach it.
Fix that by recording the original flag before performing the ptrace
stop, bringing the behavior in line with documentation and x86/powerpc.

nit: but I'd rather the '&' operation was in the conditional so that the
'flags' variable holds all of the flags.

With that:

I'll queue it with the above addressed. I think flags also needs to be
unsigned long rather than u32.

However, before sending the pull request, I'd like Sudeep to confirm
that it doesn't break his original use-case for this feature.

I just tested it with my simple programs I had before. I have also asked
teams working on gvisor to test. They have tested it and see no
regression. I will ask them to reply here.

I have just tested all gVisor syscall test cases with ptrace(Regs, FPRegs, TLS) on Arm64 platform.
The test results are the same as before there was no patch.

My idea is that this kernel patch has no bad effects on gVisor.
Linux Kernel version: 5.7.0-rc6+
