From 916a05b90d8322f38ea133feb3a194617e507c3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jamie Iles Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2017 16:57:54 -0800 Subject: signal: protect SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE from unintentional clearing. [ Upstream commit 2d39b3cd34e6d323720d4c61bd714f5ae202c022 ] Since commit 00cd5c37afd5 ("ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/init") we can now trace init processes. init is initially protected with SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE which will prevent fatal signals such as SIGSTOP, but there are a number of paths during tracing where SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can be implicitly cleared. This can result in init becoming stoppable/killable after tracing. For example, running: while true; do kill -STOP 1; done & strace -p 1 and then stopping strace and the kill loop will result in init being left in state TASK_STOPPED. Sending SIGCONT to init will resume it, but init will now respond to future SIGSTOP signals rather than ignoring them. Make sure that when setting SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED/SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED that we don't clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.
