It is currently impossible to run a user-mode linux machine inside another
user-mode linux (UML on UML). It breaks after a few instructions. When
it tries to check whether SYSEMU is installed (the inner) UML receives an
inconsistent result (from the outer UML).
This is the output of a broken attempt:
$ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow
Locating the bottom of the address space ... 0x0
Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000
Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK
Checking ptrace new tags for syscall emulation...unsupported
Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...check_sysemu : expected SIGTRAP, got status = 256
$
The problem is the following:
PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um.
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch,
therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in
kernel/ptrace).
This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes
the problem.
