kill tracehook_notify_death()

2011-06-27T18:30:08+00:00

Kill tracehook_notify_death(), reimplement the logic in its caller,
exit_notify().

Also, change the exec_id's check to use thread_group_leader() instead
of task_detached(), this is more clear. This logic only applies to
the exiting leader, a sub-thread must never change its exit_signal.

Note: when the traced group leader exits the exit_signal-or-SIGCHLD
logic looks really strange:

	- we notify the tracer even if !thread_group_empty() but
	   do_wait(WEXITED) can't work until all threads exit

	- if the tracer is real_parent, it is not clear why can't
	  we use ->exit_signal event if !thread_group_empty()

-v2: do not try to fix the 2nd oddity to avoid the subtle behavior
     change mixed with reorganization, suggested by Tejun.

tracehook.h is on the way out.  Rename tracehook_tracer_task() to
ptrace_parent() and move it from tracehook.h to ptrace.h.

ptrace: kill clone/exec tracehooks

2011-06-22T17:26:29+00:00

At this point, tracehooks aren't useful to mainline kernel and mostly
just add an extra layer of obfuscation.  Although they have comments,
without actual in-kernel users, it is difficult to tell what are their
assumptions and they're actually trying to achieve.  To mainline
kernel, they just aren't worth keeping around.

This patch kills the following clone and exec related tracehooks.

	tracehook_prepare_clone()
	tracehook_finish_clone()
	tracehook_report_clone()
	tracehook_report_clone_complete()
	tracehook_unsafe_exec()

The changes are mostly trivial - logic is moved to the caller and
comments are merged and adjusted appropriately.

The only exception is in check_unsafe_exec() where LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE*
are OR'd to bprm->unsafe instead of setting it, which produces the
same result as the field is always zero on entry.  It also tests
p->ptrace instead of (p->ptrace & PT_PTRACED) for consistency, which
also gives the same result.

This doesn't introduce any behavior change.

ptrace: kill trivial tracehooks

2011-06-22T17:26:28+00:00

At this point, tracehooks aren't useful to mainline kernel and mostly
just add an extra layer of obfuscation.  Although they have comments,
without actual in-kernel users, it is difficult to tell what are their
assumptions and they're actually trying to achieve.  To mainline
kernel, they just aren't worth keeping around.

This patch kills the following trivial tracehooks.

* Ones testing whether task is ptraced.  Replace with ->ptrace test.

	tracehook_expect_breakpoints()
	tracehook_consider_ignored_signal()
	tracehook_consider_fatal_signal()

* ptrace_event() wrappers.  Call directly.

	tracehook_report_exec()
	tracehook_report_exit()
	tracehook_report_vfork_done()

* ptrace_release_task() wrapper.  Call directly.

	tracehook_finish_release_task()

* noop

	tracehook_prepare_release_task()
	tracehook_report_death()

This doesn't introduce any behavior change.

ptrace: move SIGTRAP on exec(2) logic to ptrace_event()

2011-06-22T17:26:28+00:00

Move SIGTRAP on exec(2) logic from tracehook_report_exec() to
ptrace_event().  This is part of changes to make ptrace_event()
smarter and handle ptrace event related details in one place.

This doesn't introduce any behavior change.

ptrace: introduce ptrace_event_enabled() and simplify ptrace_event() and tracehook_prepare_clone()

2011-06-22T17:26:28+00:00

This patch implements ptrace_event_enabled() which tests whether a
given PTRACE_EVENT_* is enabled and use it to simplify ptrace_event()
and tracehook_prepare_clone().

PT_EVENT_FLAG() macro is added which calculates PT_TRACE_* flag from
PTRACE_EVENT_*.  This is used to define PT_TRACE_* flags and by
ptrace_event_enabled() to find the matching flag.

This is used to make ptrace_event() and tracehook_prepare_clone()
simpler.

* ptrace_event() callers were responsible for providing mask to test
  whether the event was enabled.  This patch implements
  ptrace_event_enabled() and make ptrace_event() drop @mask and
  determine whether the event is enabled from @event.  Note that
  @event is constant and this conversion doesn't add runtime overhead.

  All conversions except tracehook_report_clone_complete() are
  trivial.  tracehook_report_clone_complete() used to use 0 for @mask
  (always enabled) but now tests whether the specified event is
  enabled.  This doesn't cause any behavior difference as it's
  guaranteed that the event specified by @trace is enabled.

* tracehook_prepare_clone() now only determines which event is
  applicable and use ptrace_event_enabled() for enable test.

This doesn't introduce any behavior change.

ptrace: kill task_ptrace()

2011-06-22T17:26:27+00:00

task_ptrace(task) simply dereferences task->ptrace and isn't even used
consistently only adding confusion.  Kill it and directly access
->ptrace instead.

This doesn't introduce any behavior change.

signal: remove three noop tracehooks

2011-06-04T16:17:11+00:00

Remove the following three noop tracehooks in signals.c.

* tracehook_force_sigpending()
* tracehook_get_signal()
* tracehook_finish_jctl()

The code area is about to be updated and these hooks don't do anything
other than obfuscating the logic.
