It builds on top of the previous 'fork_inferior' extension patch. The idea is to provide a new 'traceme_fun' for each ptrace backend, which will accept a new integer argument representing the write end of the ptrace status pipe (that was created in 'fork_inferior'). This function will invoke the actual tracing syscall (which is 'ptrace' in this case), get its errno value and write it back via the pipe. You can see examples of this new approach by looking at 'inf_ptrace_me' (GDB) or 'linux_ptrace_fun' (gdbserver). The rest of the patch implements the necessary machinery to do something useful with the errno information that we received from 'ptrace'. In Fedora GDB, we carry the following patch: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/blob/8ac06474ff1e2aa4920d14e0666b083eeaca8952/f/gdb-attach-fail-reasons-5of5.patch Its purpose is to try to detect a specific scenario where SELinux's 'deny_ptrace' option is enabled, which prevents GDB from ptrace'ing in order to debug the inferior (PTRACE_ATTACH and PTRACE_TRACEME will fail with EACCES in this case). I like the idea of improving error detection and providing more information to the user (a simple "Permission denied" can be really frustrating), but I don't fully agree with the way the patch was implemented: it makes GDB link against libselinux only for the sake of consulting the 'deny_ptrace' setting, and then prints a warning if ptrace failed and this setting is on. There is now a new function, 'linux_ptrace_restricted_fail_reason', which does a few things to check what's wrong with ptrace: - It dlopen's "libselinux.so.1" and checks if the "deny_ptrace" option is enabled. - It reads the contents of "/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope" and checks if it's different than 0. For each of these checks, if it succeeds, the user will see a message informing about the restriction in place, and how it can be disabled. For example, if "deny_ptrace" is enabled, the user will see: # gdb /usr/bin/true ... (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/true warning: Could not trace the inferior process. warning: ptrace: Permission denied The SELinux 'deny_ptrace' option is enabled and preventing GDB from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root): setsebool deny_ptrace off If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) must be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running). In case "/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope" is > 0: # gdb /usr/bin/true ... (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/true warning: Could not trace the inferior process. warning: ptrace: Operation not permitted The Linux kernel's Yama ptrace scope is in effect, which can prevent GDB from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root): echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) must be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running). If both restrictions are enabled, both messages will show up. This works for gdbserver as well, and actually fixes a latent bug I found: when ptrace is restricted, gdbserver would hang due to an unchecked ptrace call: # gdbserver :9988 /usr/bin/true gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: Cannot PTRACE_TRACEME: Operation not permitted gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: status 256 is not WIFSTOPPED! gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: failed to kill child pid 2668100 No such process [ Here you would have to issue a C-c ] Now, you will see: # gdbserver :9988 /usr/bin/true gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: Cannot PTRACE_TRACEME: Permission denied gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: status 256 is not WIFSTOPPED! gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: failed to kill child pid 2766868 No such process gdbserver: Could not trace the inferior process. gdbserver: ptrace: Permission denied The SELinux 'deny_ptrace' option is enabled and preventing GDB from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root): setsebool deny_ptrace off If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running). Exiting. # (I decided to keep all the other messages, even though I find them a bit distracting). If GDB can't determine the cause for the failure, it will still print the generic error message which tells the user to check our documentation: There might be restrictions preventing ptrace from working. Please see the appendix "Linux kernel ptrace restrictions" in the GDB documentation for more details. If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running). This means that the series expands our documentation (in the next patch) and creates a new appendix section named "Linux kernel ptrace restrictions", with sub-sections for each possible restriction that might be in place. Notice how, on every message, we instruct the user to "do the right thing" if gdbserver is being used. This is because if the user started gdbserver *before* any ptrace restriction was in place, and then, for some reason, one or more restrictions get enabled, then the error message will be displayed both on gdbserver *and* on the connected GDB. Since the user will be piloting GDB, it's important to explicitly say that the ptrace restrictions are enabled in the target, where gdbserver is running. The current list of possible restrictions is: - SELinux's 'deny_ptrace' option (detected). - YAMA's /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope setting (detected). - seccomp on Docker containers (I couldn't find how to detect). It's important to mention that all of this is Linux-specific; as far as I know, SELinux, YAMA and seccomp are Linux-only features. gdb/ChangeLog: yyyy-mm-dd Sergio Durigan Junior * inf-ptrace.c: Include "nat/fork-inferior.h".
