x86: ptrace: sysret path should reach syscall_trace_leave
If TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SINGLESTEP is set while inside a syscall, the path back to user mode should get to syscall_trace_leave. This does happen in most circumstances. The exception to this is on the 64-bit syscall fastpath, when no such flag was set on syscall entry and nothing else has punted it off the fastpath for exit. That one exit fastpath fails to check for _TIF_WORK_SYSCALL_EXIT flags. This makes the behavior inconsistent with what 32-bit tasks see and what the native 32-bit kernel always does, and what 64-bit tasks see in all cases where the iret path is taken anyhow. Perhaps the only example that is affected is a ptrace stop inside do_fork (for PTRACE_O_TRACE{CLONE,FORK,VFORK,VFORKDONE}). Other syscalls with internal ptrace stop points (execve) already take the iret exit path for unrelated reasons. Test cases for both PTRACE_SYSCALL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP variants are at: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/syscall-from-clone.c?cvsroot=systemtap http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/step-from-clone.c?cvsroot=systemtap There was no special benefit to the sysret path's special path to call do_notify_resume, because it always takes the iret exit path at the end. So this change just makes the sysret exit path join the iret exit path for all the signals and ptrace cases. The fastpath still applies to the plain syscall-audit and resched cases.
