154abafc68 tasks, sched/core: With a grace period after finish_task_switch(), remove unnecessary code
Remove work arounds that were written before there was a grace period
after tasks left the runqueue in finish_task_switch().

In particular now that there tasks exiting the runqueue exprience
a RCU grace period none of the work performed by task_rcu_dereference()
excpet the rcu_dereference() is necessary so replace task_rcu_dereference()
with rcu_dereference().

Remove the code in rcuwait_wait_event() that checks to ensure the current
task has not exited.  It is no longer necessary as it is guaranteed
that any running task will experience a RCU grace period after it
leaves the run queueue.

Remove the comment in rcuwait_wake_up() as it is no longer relevant.

3fbd7ee285 tasks: Add a count of task RCU users
Add a count of the number of RCU users (currently 1) of the task
struct so that we can later add the scheduler case and get rid of the
very subtle task_rcu_dereference(), and just use rcu_dereference().

As suggested by Oleg have the count overlap rcu_head so that no
additional space in task_struct is required.

c17112a5c4 Merge tag 'core-process-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd/waitid updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains two features and various tests.

  First, it adds support for waiting on process through pidfds by adding
  the P_PIDFD type to the waitid() syscall. This completes the basic
  functionality of the pidfd api (cf. [1]). In the meantime we also have
  a new adition to the userspace projects that make use of the pidfd
  api. The qt project was nice enough to send a mail pointing out that
  they have a pr up to switch to the pidfd api (cf. [2]).

  Second, this tag contains an extension to the waitid() syscall to make
  it possible to wait on the current process group in a race free manner
  (even though the actual problem is very unlikely) by specifing 0
  together with the P_PGID type. This extension traces back to a
  discussion on the glibc development mailing list.

  There are also a range of tests for the features above. Additionally,
  the test-suite which detected the pidfd-polling race we fixed in [3]
  is included in this tag"

821cc7b0b2 waitid: Add support for waiting for the current process group
It was recently discovered that the linux version of waitid is not a
superset of the other wait functions because it does not include support
for waiting for the current process group. This has two downsides:
1. An extra system call is needed to get the current process group.
2. After the current process group is received and before it is passed
   to waitid a signal could arrive causing the current process group to change.
   Inherent race-conditions as these make it impossible for userspace to
   emulate this functionaly and thus violate async-signal safety
   requirements for waitpid.

Arguments can be made for using a different choice of idtype and id
for this case but the BSDs already use this P_PGID and 0 to indicate
waiting for the current process's process group.  So be nice to user
space programmers and don't introduce an unnecessary incompatibility.

Some people have noted that the posix description is that
waitpid will wait for the current process group, and that in
the presence of pthreads that process group can change.  To get
clarity on this issue I looked at XNU, FreeBSD, and Luminos.  All of
those flavors of unix waited for the current process group at the
time of call and as written could not adapt to the process group
changing after the call.

At one point Linux did adapt to the current process group changing but
that stopped in 161550d74c ("pid: sys_wait... fixes").  It has been
over 11 years since Linux has that behavior, no programs that fail
with the change in behavior have been reported, and I could not
find any other unix that does this.  So I think it is safe to clarify
the definition of current process group, to current process group
at the time of the wait function.

3695eae5fe pidfd: add P_PIDFD to waitid()
This adds the P_PIDFD type to waitid().
One of the last remaining bits for the pidfd api is to make it possible
to wait on pidfds. With P_PIDFD added to waitid() the parts of userspace
that want to use the pidfd api to exclusively manage processes can do so
now.

One of the things this will unblock in the future is the ability to make
it possible to retrieve the exit status via waitid(P_PIDFD) for
non-parent processes if handed a _suitable_ pidfd that has this feature
set. This is similar to what you can do on FreeBSD with kqueue(). It
might even end up being possible to wait on a process as a non-parent if
an appropriate property is enabled on the pidfd.

With P_PIDFD no scoping of the process identified by the pidfd is
possible, i.e. it explicitly blocks things such as wait4(-1), wait4(0),
waitid(P_ALL), waitid(P_PGID) etc. It only allows for semantics
equivalent to wait4(pid), waitid(P_PID). Users that need scoping should
rely on pid-based wait*() syscalls for now.

30b692d3b3 exit: make setting exit_state consistent
Since commit b191d6491b ("pidfd: fix a poll race when setting exit_state")
we unconditionally set exit_state to EXIT_ZOMBIE before calling into
do_notify_parent(). This was done to eliminate a race when querying
exit_state in do_notify_pidfd().
Back then we decided to do the absolute minimal thing to fix this and
not touch the rest of the exit_notify() function where exit_state is
set.
Since this fix has not caused any issues change the setting of
exit_state to EXIT_DEAD in the autoreap case to account for the fact hat
exit_state is set to EXIT_ZOMBIE unconditionally. This fix was planned
but also explicitly requested in [1] and makes the whole code more
consistent.

b191d6491b pidfd: fix a poll race when setting exit_state
There is a race between reading task->exit_state in pidfd_poll and
writing it after do_notify_parent calls do_notify_pidfd. Expected
sequence of events is:

CPU 0                            CPU 1
------------------------------------------------
exit_notify
  do_notify_parent
    do_notify_pidfd
  tsk->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD
                                  pidfd_poll
                                     if (tsk->exit_state)

However nothing prevents the following sequence:

CPU 0                            CPU 1
------------------------------------------------
exit_notify
  do_notify_parent
    do_notify_pidfd
                                   pidfd_poll
                                      if (tsk->exit_state)
  tsk->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD

This causes a polling task to wait forever, since poll blocks because
exit_state is 0 and the waiting task is not notified again. A stress
test continuously doing pidfd poll and process exits uncovered this bug.

To fix it, we make sure that the task's exit_state is always set before
calling do_notify_pidfd.

6b115bf58e cgroup: Call cgroup_release() before __exit_signal()
cgroup_release() calls cgroup_subsys->release() which is used by the
pids controller to uncharge its pid.  We want to use it to manage
iteration of dying tasks which requires putting it before
__unhash_process().  Move cgroup_release() above __exit_signal().
While this makes it uncharge before the pid is freed, pid is RCU freed
anyway and the window is very narrow.

8fb335e078 kernel/exit.c: release ptraced tasks before zap_pid_ns_processes
Currently, exit_ptrace() adds all ptraced tasks in a dead list, then
zap_pid_ns_processes() waits on all tasks in a current pidns, and only
then are tasks from the dead list released.

zap_pid_ns_processes() can get stuck on waiting tasks from the dead
list.  In this case, we will have one unkillable process with one or
more dead children.

Thanks to Oleg for the advice to release tasks in find_child_reaper().

51bee5abea cgroup/pids: turn cgroup_subsys->free() into cgroup_subsys->release() to fix the accounting
The only user of cgroup_subsys->free() callback is pids_cgrp_subsys which
needs pids_free() to uncharge the pid.

However, ->free() is called from __put_task_struct()->cgroup_free() and this
is too late. Even the trivial program which does

	for (;;) {
		int pid = fork();
		assert(pid >= 0);
		if (pid)
			wait(NULL);
		else
			exit(0);
	}

can run out of limits because release_task()->call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct)
implies an RCU gp after the task/pid goes away and before the final put().

Test-case:

	mkdir -p /tmp/CG
	mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/CG
	echo '+pids' > /tmp/CG/cgroup.subtree_control

	mkdir /tmp/CG/PID
	echo 2 > /tmp/CG/PID/pids.max

	perl -e 'while ($p = fork) { wait; } $p // die "fork failed: $!\n"' &
	echo $! > /tmp/CG/PID/cgroup.procs

Without this patch the forking process fails soon after migration.

Rename cgroup_subsys->free() to cgroup_subsys->release() and move the callsite
into the new helper, cgroup_release(), called by release_task() which actually
frees the pid(s).

73ab1cb2de umh: add exit routine for UMH process
A UMH process which is created by the fork_usermode_blob() such as
bpfilter needs to release members of the umh_info when process is
terminated.
But the do_exit() does not release members of the umh_info. hence module
which uses UMH needs own code to detect whether UMH process is
terminated or not.
But this implementation needs extra code for checking the status of
UMH process. it eventually makes the code more complex.

The new PF_UMH flag is added and it is used to identify UMH processes.
The exit_umh() does not release members of the umh_info.
Hence umh_info->cleanup callback should release both members of the
umh_info and the private data.

594cc251fd make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'
Originally, the rule used to be that you'd have to do access_ok()
separately, and then user_access_begin() before actually doing the
direct (optimized) user access.

But experience has shown that people then decide not to do access_ok()
at all, and instead rely on it being implied by other operations or
similar.  Which makes it very hard to verify that the access has
actually been range-checked.

If you use the unsafe direct user accesses, hardware features (either
SMAP - Supervisor Mode Access Protection - on x86, or PAN - Privileged
Access Never - on ARM) do force you to use user_access_begin().  But
nothing really forces the range check.

By putting the range check into user_access_begin(), we actually force
people to do the right thing (tm), and the range check vill be visible
near the actual accesses.  We have way too long a history of people
trying to avoid them.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

0102498083 signal: Pass pid type into group_send_sig_info
This passes the information we already have at the call sight
into group_send_sig_info.  Ultimatelly allowing for to better handle

6883f81aac pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGID
Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and
a tasks tgid (thread group id).  Even in the enumeration we want that
distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID.  With leader_pid
we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct.

Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and
into the pids array.  Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the
leader_pid in signal_struct.

The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and
an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct.

The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special
cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as
PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest.  The long term potential
is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove
a lot more special cases in the code.

d300b61081 kernel: use kernel_wait4() instead of sys_wait4()
All call sites of sys_wait4() set *rusage to NULL. Therefore, there is
no need for the copy_to_user() handling of *rusage, and we can use
kernel_wait4() directly.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180325162527.GA17492@light.dominikbrodowski.net

7c2c11b208 arch: define weak abort()
gcc toggle -fisolate-erroneous-paths-dereference (default at -O2
onwards) isolates faulty code paths such as null pointer access, divide
by zero etc.  If gcc port doesnt implement __builtin_trap, an abort() is
generated which causes kernel link error.

In this case, gcc is generating abort due to 'divide by zero' in
lib/mpi/mpih-div.c.

Currently 'frv' and 'arc' are failing.  Previously other arch was also
broken like m32r was fixed by commit d22e3d69ee ("m32r: fix build
failure").

Let's define this weak function which is common for all arch and fix the
problem permanently.  We can even remove the arch specific 'abort' after
this is done.

6aa7de0591 locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch
