Add experimental code to use PTRACE_SEIZE, disabled by default
All new code is predicated on "ifdef USE_SEIZE". If it is not defined,
behavior is not changed.
If USE_SEIZE is enabled and run-time check shows that PTRACE_SEIZE works, then:
- All attaching is done with PTRACE_SEIZE + PTRACE_INTERRUPT.
This means that we no longer generate (and possibly race with) SIGSTOP.
- PTRACE_EVENT_STOP will be generated if tracee is group-stopped.
When we detect it, we issue PTRACE_LISTEN instead of PTRACE_SYSCALL.
This leaves tracee stopped. This fixes the inability to SIGSTOP or ^Z
a straced process.
* defs.h: Add commented-out "define USE_SEIZE 1" and define PTRACE_SEIZE
and related constants.
* strace.c: New variable post_attach_sigstop shows whether we age going
to expect SIGSTOP on attach (IOW: are we going to use PTRACE_SEIZE).
(ptrace_attach_or_seize): New function. Uses PTRACE_ATTACH or
PTRACE_SEIZE + PTRACE_INTERRUPT to attach to given pid.
(startup_attach): Use ptrace_attach_or_seize() instead of ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH).
(startup_child): Conditionally use alternative attach method using PTRACE_SEIZE.
(test_ptrace_setoptions_followfork): More robust parameters to PTRACE_TRACEME.
(test_ptrace_seize): New function to test whether PTRACE_SEIZE works.
(main): Call test_ptrace_seize() while initializing.
(trace): If PTRACE_EVENT_STOP is seen, restart using PTRACE_LISTEN in order
to not let tracee run.
* process.c: Decode PTRACE_SEIZE, PTRACE_INTERRUPT, PTRACE_LISTEN.
* util.c (ptrace_restart): Add "LISTEN" to a possible error message.
