x86/ptrace: Fix the TIF_FORCED_TF logic in handle_signal()



When the TIF_SINGLESTEP tracee dequeues a signal,
handle_signal() clears TIF_FORCED_TF and X86_EFLAGS_TF but
leaves TIF_SINGLESTEP set.

If the tracer does PTRACE_SINGLESTEP again, enable_single_step()
sets X86_EFLAGS_TF but not TIF_FORCED_TF.  This means that the
subsequent PTRACE_CONT doesn't not clear X86_EFLAGS_TF, and the
tracee gets the wrong SIGTRAP.

Test-case (needs -O2 to avoid prologue insns in signal handler):

	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <sys/user.h>
	#include <assert.h>
	#include <stddef.h>

	void handler(int n)
	{
		asm("nop");
	}

	int child(void)
	{
		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
		signal(SIGALRM, handler);
		kill(getpid(), SIGALRM);
		return 0x23;
	}

	void *getip(int pid)
	{
		return (void*)ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, pid,
					offsetof(struct user, regs.rip), 0);
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		pid = fork();
		if (!pid)
			return child();

		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGALRM);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0, SIGALRM) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
		assert((getip(pid) - (void*)handler) == 0);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0, SIGALRM) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
		assert((getip(pid) - (void*)handler) == 1);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFEXITED(status) && WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0x23);

		return 0;
	}

The last assert() fails because PTRACE_CONT wrongly triggers
another single-step and X86_EFLAGS_TF can't be cleared by
debugger until the tracee does sys_rt_sigreturn().

Change handle_signal() to do user_disable_single_step() if
stepping, we do not need to preserve TIF_SINGLESTEP because we
are going to do ptrace_notify(), and it is simply wrong to leak
this bit.

While at it, change the comment to explain why we also need to
clear TF unconditionally after setup_rt_frame().

Note: in the longer term we should probably change
setup_sigcontext() to use get_flags() and then just remove this
user_disable_single_step().  And, the state of TIF_FORCED_TF can
be wrong after restore_sigcontext() which can set/clear TF, this
needs another fix.

This fix fixes the 'single_step_syscall_32' testcase in
the x86 testsuite:

Before:

	~/linux/tools/testing/selftests/x86> ./single_step_syscall_32
	[RUN]   Set TF and check nop
	[OK]    Survived with TF set and 9 traps
	[RUN]   Set TF and check int80
	[OK]    Survived with TF set and 9 traps
	[RUN]   Set TF and check a fast syscall
	[WARN]  Hit 10000 SIGTRAPs with si_addr 0xf7789cc0, ip 0xf7789cc0
	Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

After:

	~/linux/linux/tools/testing/selftests/x86> ./single_step_syscall_32
	[RUN]   Set TF and check nop
	[OK]    Survived with TF set and 9 traps
	[RUN]   Set TF and check int80
	[OK]    Survived with TF set and 9 traps
	[RUN]   Set TF and check a fast syscall
	[OK]    Survived with TF set and 39 traps
	[RUN]   Fast syscall with TF cleared
	[OK]    Nothing unexpected happened
