Tejun Heo 8c6fa0a671 ptrace,x86: force IRET path after a ptrace_stop()
commit b9cd18de4d upstream.

The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular
registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values.  That is
very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'.

Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface
catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which
always returns with an iret.

However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the
signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to
return to user space using 'sysret'.  Otherwise the modifications that
may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't
necessarily take effect.

Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from
arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().
