Storing struct ptrace_state information inside struct proc was vulnerable to synchronization bugs, as multiple events emitted in the same time were overwritting other ones. Cache the original parent process id in p_oppid. Reusing here p_opptr is in theory prone to slight race codition. Change the semantics of PT_GET_PROCESS_STATE, reutning EINVAL for calls prompting for the value in cases when there wasn't registered an appropriate event. Add an alternative approach to check the ptrace_state information, directly from the siginfo_t value returned from PT_GET_SIGINFO. The original PT_GET_PROCESS_STATE approach is kept for compat with older NetBSD and OpenBSD. New code is recommended to keep using PT_GET_PROCESS_STATE. Add a couple of compile-time asserts for assumptions in the code. No functional change intended in existing ptrace(2) software. All ATF ptrace(2) and ATF GDB tests pass. This change improves reliability of the threading ptrace(2) code.
NetBSD
NetBSD is a free, fast, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system. It is available for a wide range of platforms, from large-scale servers and powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices.
Building
You can cross-build NetBSD from most UNIX-like operating systems. To build for amd64 (x86_64), in the src directory:
./build.sh -U -u -j4 -m amd64 -O ~/obj release
Additional build information available in the BUILDING file.
Binaries
Testing
On a running NetBSD system:
cd /usr/tests; atf-run | atf-report
Troubleshooting
- Send bugs and patches via web form.
- Subscribe to the mailing lists. The netbsd-users list is a good choice for many problems; watch current-users if you follow the bleeding edge of NetBSD-current.
- Join the community IRC channel #netbsd @ freenode.
