Pull thread fixes from Christian Brauner:
"Here are two fixes:
- Panic earlier when global init exits to generate useable coredumps.
Currently, when global init and all threads in its thread-group
have exited we panic via:
do_exit()
-> exit_notify()
-> forget_original_parent()
-> find_child_reaper()
This makes it hard to extract a useable coredump for global init
from a kernel crashdump because by the time we panic exit_mm() will
have already released global init's mm. We now panic slightly
earlier. This has been a problem in certain environments such as
Android.
- Fix a race in assigning and reading taskstats for thread-groups
with more than one thread.
This patch has been waiting for quite a while since people
disagreed on what the correct fix was at first"

exit: panic before exit_mm() on global init exit
taskstats: fix data-race
Currently, when global init and all threads in its thread-group have exited
we panic via:
do_exit()

This makes it hard to extract a useable coredump for global init from a

This patch moves the panic futher up before exit_mm() is called. As was the
case previously, we only panic when global init and all its threads in the
thread-group have exited.

Pull pipe rework from David Howells:
"This is my set of preparatory patches for building a general
notification queue on top of pipes. It makes a number of significant
changes:
- It removes the nr_exclusive argument from __wake_up_sync_key() as
this is always 1. This prepares for the next step:
- Adds wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() so that poll can be
woken up from a function that's holding the poll waitqueue
spinlock.
- Change the pipe buffer ring to be managed in terms of unbounded
head and tail indices rather than bounded index and length. This
means that reading the pipe only needs to modify one index, not
two.
- A selection of helper functions are provided to query the state of
the pipe buffer, plus a couple to apply updates to the pipe
indices.
- The pipe ring is allowed to have kernel-reserved slots. This allows
many notification messages to be spliced in by the kernel without
allowing userspace to pin too many pages if it writes to the same
pipe.
- Advance the head and tail indices inside the pipe waitqueue lock
and use wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() to poke poll
without having to take the lock twice.
- Rearrange pipe_write() to preallocate the buffer it is going to
write into and then drop the spinlock. This allows kernel
notifications to then be added the ring whilst it is filling the
buffer it allocated. The read side is stalled because the pipe
mutex is still held.
- Don't wake up readers on a pipe if there was already data in it
when we added more.
- Don't wake up writers on a pipe if the ring wasn't full before we
removed a buffer"

Instead of relying on PF_EXITING use an explicit state for the futex exit
and set it in the futex exit function. This moves the smp barrier and the
lock/unlock serialization into the futex code.
As with the DEAD state this is restricted to the exit path as exec
continues to use the same task struct.
This allows to simplify that logic in a next step.

Setting task::futex_state in do_exit() is rather arbitrarily placed for no

Note, this is only done for the exit cleanup as the exec cleanup cannot set

mm_release() contains the futex exit handling. mm_release() is called from
do_exit()->exit_mm() and from exec()->exec_mm().
In the exit_mm() case PF_EXITING and the futex state is updated. In the
exec_mm() case these states are not touched.
As the futex exit code needs further protections against exit races, this
needs to be split into two functions.

The futex exit handling relies on PF_ flags. That's suboptimal as it
requires a smp_mb() and an ugly lock/unlock of the exiting tasks pi_lock in
the middle of do_exit() to enforce the observability of PF_EXITING in the
futex code.
Add a futex_state member to task_struct and convert the PF_EXITPIDONE logic
over to the new state. The PF_EXITING dependency will be cleaned up in a
later step.
This prepares for handling various futex exit issues later.

In particular now that there tasks exiting the runqueue exprience

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

that any running task will experience a RCU grace period after it
leaves the run queueue.

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"

[2] https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/108456
[3] commit b191d6491b ("pidfd: fix a poll race when setting exit_state")
* tag 'core-process-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux:
waitid: Add support for waiting for the current process group
tests: add pidfd poll tests
tests: move common definitions and functions into pidfd.h
pidfd: add pidfd_wait tests
pidfd: add P_PIDFD to waitid()
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
