Public bug reported:
Intially found when running snapd integration test suite on Arch on
5.2.x kernels. The problem was reproduced on daily eoan cloud images
with kernel Ubuntu 5.3.0-10.11-generic 5.3.0-rc8 (as reported in
/proc/version_signature)
Stracing trivial Go binary results in a deadlock when both strace and
the binary being traced end up in D state.
Example code:
```
package main
import (
"os"
"syscall"
)
func main() {
syscall.Exec("/bin/echo", []string{"/bin/echo", "Hello"}, os.Environ())
}
```
$ go build exec.go
$ while true; do echo '- go'; strace -f -e 'execve' ./exec 2>/dev/null ; done
..
Hello
- go
Hello
- go
Hello
- go
^C
At which point strace does not react to ^C. This can only be unlocked by
issuing SIGKILL to either strace or the binary being traced.
