Subject: [RFC 3/3] x86/ptrace: down with test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32)
Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2016 19:12:43 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461600763-3534-3-git-send-email-dsafonov@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1461600763-3534-1-git-send-email-dsafonov@virtuozzo.com>

As the task isn't executing at the moment of {GET,SET}REGS,
return regset that corresponds to code selector.
So, for i386 elf binary that changed it's CS to __USER_CS
it will return full x86_64 register set.

That will change ABI: i.e, strace uses returned register size
to determine, in which mode the application is.
With the current ABI that way is buggy:

int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
	printf("Here we exit\n");
	fflush(stdout);
	asm volatile ("int $0x80" : : "a" (__NR_exit), "D" (1));
	printf("After exit\n");

	return 0;
}

This program will confuse strace:

[tst]$ strace ./confuse 2>&1 | tail
brk(0x1ca1000)                          = 0x1ca1000
write(1, "Here we exit\n", 13Here we exit
)          = 13
exit(1)                                 = ?
<... exit resumed> strace: _exit returned!
)                    = ?
write(1, "After exit\n", 11After exit
)            = 11
exit_group(0)                           = ?
+++ exited with 0 +++

So this ABI change should make PTRACE_GETREGSET more reliable and
this will be another step to drop TIF_{IA32,X32} flags.
