[PATCH] Fix atomicity of TIF update in flush_thread() for x86_64
Fix atomicity of TIF update in flush_thread() for x86_64
Race :
parent process executing :
sys_ptrace()
(lock_kernel())
(ptrace_get_task_struct(pid))
arch_ptrace()
ptrace_detach()
ptrace_disable(child);
clear_singlestep(child);
clear_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_SINGLESTEP);
(which clears the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag atomically from a different
process)
(put_task_struct(child))
(unlock_kernel())
And at the same time, in the child process :
sys_execve()
do_execve()
search_binary_handler()
load_elf_binary()
flush_old_exec()
flush_thread()
doing a non-atomic thread flag update
