Parasite daemon mode it quite tricky. One may consider it as consisting of two parts - daemon mode for thread leader - daemon mode for regular threads Thread leader daemon -------------------- Once thread leader parasite code switched initialized, it starts spinning on socket listening for commands to handle. If the command destination is the thread leader itself it handles it and replies back the ack to the caller (iow the main crtools code). If the recepient is not thread leader but one of threads, then thread leader wakes up the thread by futex and makes it to handle the command waiting on futex for result. Once result obtained, the ack is being sending back to caller. Thread daemon ------------- On initialization thread daemon starts waiting a command on futex. The futex is triggered by thread leader daemon when command received. Once command is received and handled, the result is reported back to the thread leader daemon, which in turn send ack message. Both thread-leader and regular threads require own stack to operate on since they all are present in memory simultaneously. Thus we use call_daemon_thread() helper which takes care of providing stack to the callee. TODO: - ARM requires own wrappers on damonize/trap low-level code, at moment x86-64 is only covered v2: remove PARASITE_CMD_DAEMONIZED and s->ack parasite: use a propper command for getting ack Fixed-by:
