Alex Xu reported a regression in strace, caused by the introduction of
the cgroup v2 freezer. The regression can be reproduced by stracing
the following simple program:
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
write(1, "a", 1);
return 0;
}
An attempt to run strace ./a.out leads to the infinite loop:
[ pre-main omitted ]
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
[ repeats forever ]
The problem occurs because the traced task leaves ptrace_stop()
(and the signal handling loop) with the frozen bit set. So let's
call cgroup_leave_frozen(true) unconditionally after sleeping
in ptrace_stop().
With this patch applied, strace works as expected:
[ pre-main omitted ]
write(1, "a", 1) = 1
exit_group(0) = ?
+++ exited with 0 +++

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
