我正在尝试实现一个检查点功能来检查一个进程。我通过分叉一个子进程来做到这一点。但是我需要在启动时暂停子进程。稍后,我们可以通过取消暂停子进程并使父进程自行终止来从检查点重新启动。
这是我编写的代码checkpoint
以及restart_from_checkpoint
如何调用它们的示例。
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
pid_t checkpoint();
void restart_from_checkpoint( pid_t pid );
int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
int i;
pid_t child_pid;
pid_t parent_pid = getpid();
for( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
{
if ( i == 4 )
{
printf( "%6s: Checkpointing!\n", (getpid() == parent_pid)? "parent":"child" );
child_pid = checkpoint();
}
if ( i == 7 )
{
printf( "%6s: Restarting!\n", (getpid() == parent_pid)? "parent":"child" );
restart_from_checkpoint( child_pid );
}
printf( "%6s: i = %d\n", (getpid() == parent_pid)? "parent":"child", i );
}
return 0;
}
pid_t checkpoint()
{
pid_t pid;
int wait_val;
switch (pid=fork())
{
case -1:
perror("fork");
break;
case 0: // child process starts
ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME,0,0,0);
raise( SIGTRAP ); // Note that this is the solution to first part
// of the question, which I added after
// asking this question.
break; // child process ends
default: // parent process starts
wait(&wait_val);
return pid;
}
}
void restart_from_checkpoint( pid_t pid )
{
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, NULL, NULL);
wait(NULL); // I'm just waiting here, but actually
// I need to kill the calling process.
}
我不知道如何在调用后停止子进程ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME,0,0,0)
。其次,我不知道如何在让子进程继续的同时杀死父进程restart_from_checkpoint
。
最好的办法是可以使用一个参数ptrace
来停止分叉进程,然后从PTRACE_CONT
. 不幸的是,PTRACE_TRACEME 只在exec
函数调用处停止。
