uprobes: Change handle_swbp() to send SIGTRAP with si_code=SI_KERNEL, to fix
GDB regression
If a tracee is uprobed and it hits int3 inserted by debugger, handle_swbp()
does send_sig(SIGTRAP, current, 0) which means si_code == SI_USER. This used
to work when this code was written, but then GDB started to validate si_code
and now it simply can't use breakpoints if the tracee has an active uprobe:
# cat test.c
void unused_func(void)
{
}
int main(void)
{
return 0;
}
# gcc -g test.c -o test
# perf probe -x ./test -a unused_func
# perf record -e probe_test:unused_func gdb ./test -ex run
GNU gdb (GDB) 10.0.50.20200714-git
...
Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
0x00007ffff7ddf909 in dl_main () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb)
The tracee hits the internal breakpoint inserted by GDB to monitor shared
library events but GDB misinterprets this SIGTRAP and reports a signal.
Change handle_swbp() to use force_sig(SIGTRAP), this matches do_int3_user()
and fixes the problem.
This is the minimal fix for -stable, arch/x86/kernel/uprobes.c is equally
wrong; it should use send_sigtrap(TRAP_TRACE) instead of send_sig(SIGTRAP),
but this doesn't confuse GDB and needs another x86-specific patch.
