Our injected code can reheal itself if something goes wrong. The hack
here is that we inject
the code with a signal frame and it calls rt_segreturn to resume the process.
We want to have this functionality for most cases. I don't expect that
the syscall user dispatch
is used by many applications, so I don't strongly insist on
PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH. In addition, if we know a user dispatch
memory region, it can be enough to inject our code out of this region
without disabling SUD.
Thanks,
Andrei
