Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Eugene Syromiatnikov 2019-06-28 13:09:48 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1035434 +++

Reproduced on RHEL-7 with

strace-4.8-3.el7
kernel-3.10.0-23.el7

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1035433 +++

Description of problem:
When using strace to debug an LXC problem I noticed that it gets a bit confused by PID namespaces.

I am running strace from host context, so I expect all PIDs it reports to be host PIDs. When strace creates new log files (due to the -ff CLI option) it names them based on the host PIDs, which is good. Inside these log files though the clone() syscalls are reporting container PIDs which is bad. This means you can't correlate the clone() syscalls  with the log files strace is creating.

If running strace from inside container context it correctly uses container PIDs in both places.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
strace-4.8-1.fc19.x86_64
kernel-3.11.9-200.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From the host run

# strace -f -ff -o s.log unshare --pid -- /bin/sh

and at the shell prompt execute '/bin/sh' again. Then do it again. And again.. Then exit back to the host context

You should now have several log files
 

Actual results:
# ls s.log.*
s.log.9851  s.log.9860  s.log.9861  s.log.9862
# grep clone s.log.98*
s.log.9851:clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7fe81e7b6a10) = 9860
s.log.9860:clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f47d93aca10) = 2
s.log.9861:clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f9962d34a10) = 3


Expected results:
# ls s.log.*
s.log.9851  s.log.9860  s.log.9861  s.log.9862
# grep clone s.log.98*
s.log.9851:clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7fe81e7b6a10) = 9860
s.log.9860:clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f47d93aca10) = 9861
s.log.9861:clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f9962d34a10) = 9862

It's unlikely that I'll be able to push the required changes to upstream during 7.7 development time frame, moving to 7.8.
