The check in get_reg() is:


if (WARN_ON_ONCE((off < PT_REG(d1)) &&
test_ti_thread_status(task_thread_info(task),TIS_TRACING)
&& !test_ti_thread_status(task_thread_info(task),
TIS_ALLREGS_SAVED))) {
unsigned long *addr_d0;
addr_d0 = (unsigned long *)(task->thread.esp0 +
regoff[16]);
pr_err("get_reg with incomplete stack, regno %d offs
%d orig_d0 %lx\n", regno, off, *addr_d0);
return 0;
}

... and sets both the new TIS_TRACING and TIS_ALLREGS_SAVED flags in the
thread_info->status field (now that I've corrected my patch).

Thanks for explaining! So in order to get a trace for the process being
traced, I would have to check the TIS_ALLREGS_SAVED in ptrace_stop()?

So testing for TIS_ALLREGS_SAVED in get_reg() (called by the tracer, but
with the tracee's task struct passed to arch_ptrace()) does check that
SAVE_SWITCH_STACK was done before the syscall in the tracee, right?

Anyway, I'd missed setting the flags for some crucial SAVE_SWITCH_STACK
operations in my woefully incomplete patch. With that corrected, there's
no more warning from mmap. I'll try with a more recent version of strace
and gdb once I've updated my test image.

Cheers,

Michael
