ptrace: copy_process() should disable stepping
If the tracee calls fork() after PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, the forked child
starts with TIF_SINGLESTEP/X86_EFLAGS_TF bits copied from ptraced parent.
This is not right, especially when the new child is not auto-attaced: in
this case it is killed by SIGTRAP.
Change copy_process() to call user_disable_single_step(). Tested on x86.
Test-case:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <assert.h>
int main(void)
{
int pid, status;
if (!(pid = fork())) {
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) == 0);
kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
if (!fork()) {
/* kernel bug: this child will be killed by SIGTRAP */
printf("Hello world\n");
return 43;
}
wait(&status);
return WEXITSTATUS(status);
}
for (;;) {
assert(pid == wait(&status));
if (WIFEXITED(status))
break;
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0,0) == 0);
}
assert(WEXITSTATUS(status) == 43);
return 0;
}
