pyrasite-shell hangs on Arch Linux

[purboo]

It works pretty well on Ubuntu 18.04. However, when I run pyrasite-shell <pid> on Arch Linux, I got the following errors:

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
0x00007f9e956f3197 in select () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6

May I know how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

This change to injector.py fixed the issue for me.

This appears to be detached from develop here. Is this by accident? Maybe @diamond-lizard should make a PR again?

My python application is run by user A. When I try to use pyrasite-shell, it reminds me of running it by user root and I do that. Then, Permission denies comes out which means the application needed to be injected can not open the inject code( you can see the pyrasite code. it makes a tmp file by mkstemp which leads to only the creator can read this file. So, the application can not read.). Then I try to make pyrasite-shell run by user A . I fix it.

@lmacken can you look into diamond-lizard@d1e2301 commit? It really helps to get pyrasite working on Ubuntu 18.04 too with some alternate python versions.

Hi @lmacken, found this issue while searching for the same error. Getting it on an Ubuntu 18.04 Docker container and the commit @irmatov mentions fixes it for me.

That said, Docker's default security policies don't allow ptrace, which is needed by gdb, which is needed by pyrasite. What made it work for me was to do RUN echo kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 0 > /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf in my Dockerfile at build time, then do my docker run call with --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --security-opt seccomp=unconfined. I'm on Docker 19.03.2 btw.

By the way if anyone wants to pip-install the "fixed" version, remember pip supports installing from git repos, so you can point it to the fixed fork like so:

pip install git+https://github.com/diamond-lizard/pyrasite.git

Still does not work on recent arch. Installed both pip pyrasite and the git version. gdb is also installed. Cannot connect to any of my running python processes:

Tried to run it as well, got the following output after enabling verbose mode:
