ptrace: fix PTRACE_LISTEN race corrupting task->state
commit 5402e97af667e35e54177af8f6575518bf251d51 upstream.
In PT_SEIZED + LISTEN mode STOP/CONT signals cause a wakeup against
__TASK_TRACED. If this races with the ptrace_unfreeze_traced at the end
of a PTRACE_LISTEN, this can wake the task /after/ the check against
__TASK_TRACED, but before the reset of state to TASK_TRACED. This
causes it to instead clobber TASK_WAKING, allowing a subsequent wakeup
against TRACED while the task is still on the rq wake_list, corrupting
it.
Oleg said:
"The kernel can crash or this can lead to other hard-to-debug problems.
In short, "task->state = TASK_TRACED" in ptrace_unfreeze_traced()
assumes that nobody else can wake it up, but PTRACE_LISTEN breaks the
contract. Obviusly it is very wrong to manipulate task->state if this
task is already running, or WAKING, or it sleeps again"
