Commit e9fb7631eb ("cpu-hotplug: introduce cpu_notify(),
__cpu_notify(), cpu_notify_nofail()") also introduced this annoying
warning:
kernel/cpu.c:157: warning: 'cpu_notify_nofail' defined but not used
when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU wasn't set.
So move that helper inside the #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU region, and
simplify it while at it.

Most distros turn the console verbosity down and that means a backtrace
after a panic never makes it to the console. I assume we haven't seen
this because a panic is often preceeded by an oops which will have called
console_verbose. There are however a lot of places we call panic
directly, and they are broken.
Use console_verbose like we do in the oops path to ensure a directly
called panic will print a backtrace.

copy_process(pid => &init_struct_pid) doesn't do attach_pid/etc.
It shouldn't, but this means that the idle threads run with the wrong
pids copied from the caller's task_struct. In x86 case the caller is
either kernel_init() thread or keventd.
In particular, this means that after the series of cpu_up/cpu_down an
idle thread (which never exits) can run with .pid pointing to nowhere.
Change fork_idle() to initialize idle->pids[] correctly. We only set
.pid = &init_struct_pid but do not add .node to list, INIT_TASK() does
the same for the boot-cpu idle thread (swapper).

On a system with a substantial number of processors, the early default
pid_max of 32k will not be enough. A system with 1664 CPU's, there are
25163 processes started before the login prompt. It's estimated that with
2048 CPU's we will pass the 32k limit. With 4096, we'll reach that limit
very early during the boot cycle, and processes would stall waiting for an
available pid.
This patch increases the early maximum number of pids available, and
increases the minimum number of pids that can be set during runtime.

Currently, onlining or offlining a CPU failure by one of the cpu notifiers
error always cause -EINVAL error. (i.e. writing 0 or 1 to
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online gets EINVAL)
To get better error reporting rather than always getting -EINVAL, This
changes cpu_notify() to return -errno value with notifier_to_errno() and
fix the callers. Now that cpu notifiers can return encapsulate errno
value.
Currently, all cpu hotplug notifiers return NOTIFY_OK, NOTIFY_BAD, or
NOTIFY_DONE. So cpu_notify() can returns 0 or -EPERM with this change for
now.
(notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_OK) == 0, notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_DONE) == 0,
notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_BAD) == -EPERM)
Forthcoming patches convert several cpu notifiers to return encapsulate
errno value with notifier_from_errno().

No functional changes, just s/atomic_t count/int nr_threads/.
With the recent changes this counter has a single user, get_nr_threads()
And, none of its callers need the really accurate number of threads, not
to mention each caller obviously races with fork/exit. It is only used to
report this value to the user-space, except first_tid() uses it to avoid
the unnecessary while_each_thread() loop in the unlikely case.
It is a bit sad we need a word in struct signal_struct for this, perhaps
we can change get_nr_threads() to approximate the number of threads using
signal->live and kill ->nr_threads later.

Trivial, use get_nr_threads() helper to read signal->count which we are
going to change.
Like other callers, proc_sched_show_task() doesn't need the exactly
precise nr_threads.
David said:
: Note that get_nr_threads() isn't completely equivalent (it can return 0
: where proc_sched_show_task() will display a 1). But I don't think this
: should be a problem.

check_unshare_flags(CLONE_SIGHAND) adds CLONE_THREAD to *flags_ptr if the
task is multithreaded to ensure unshare_thread() will fail.
Not only this is a bit strange way to return the error, this is absolutely
meaningless. If signal->count > 1 then sighand->count must be also > 1,
and unshare_sighand() will fail anyway.
In fact, all CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM checks inside sys_unshare() do not
look right. Fortunately this code doesn't really work anyway.

Cleanup:
- Add the boolean, group_dead = thread_group_leader(), for clarity.
- Do not test/set sig == NULL to detect the all-dead case, use this
boolean.
- Pass this boolen to __unhash_process() and use it instead of another
thread_group_leader() call which needs ->group_leader.
This can be considered as microoptimization, but hopefully this also
allows us do do other cleanups later.

When the last thread exits signal->tty is freed, but the pointer is not
cleared and points to nowhere.
This is OK. Nobody should use signal->tty lockless, and it is no longer
possible to take ->siglock. However this looks wrong even if correct, and
the nice OOPS is better than subtle and hard to find bugs.
Change __exit_signal() to clear signal->tty under ->siglock.
Note: __exit_signal() needs more cleanups. It should not check "sig !=
NULL" to detect the all-dead case and we have the same issues with
signal->stats.

We have a lot of problems with accessing task_struct->signal, it can
"disappear" at any moment. Even current can't use its ->signal safely
after exit_notify(). ->siglock helps, but it is not convenient, not
always possible, and sometimes it makes sense to use task->signal even
after this task has already dead.
This patch adds the reference counter, sigcnt, into signal_struct. This
reference is owned by task_struct and it is dropped in
__put_task_struct(). Perhaps it makes sense to export
get/put_signal_struct() later, but currently I don't see the immediate
reason.
Rename __cleanup_signal() to free_signal_struct() and unexport it. With
the previous changes it does nothing except kmem_cache_free().
Change __exit_signal() to not clear/free ->signal, it will be freed when
the last reference to any thread in the thread group goes away.
Note:
- when the last thead exits signal->tty can point to nowhere, see
the next patch.
- with or without this patch signal_struct->count should go away,
or at least it should be "int nr_threads" for fs/proc. This will
be addressed later.

tty_kref_put() has two callsites in copy_process() paths,
1. if copy_process() suceeds it is called before we copy
signal->tty from parent
2. otherwise it is called from __cleanup_signal() under
bad_fork_cleanup_signal: label
In both cases tty_kref_put() is not right and unneeded because we don't
have the balancing tty_kref_get(). Fortunately, this is harmless because
this can only happen without CLONE_THREAD, and in this case signal->tty
must be NULL.
Remove tty_kref_put() from copy_process() and __cleanup_signal(), and
change another caller of __cleanup_signal(), __exit_signal(), to call
tty_kref_put() by hand.
I hope this change makes sense by itself, but it is also needed to make
->signal refcountable.

Preparation to make task->signal immutable, no functional changes.
posix-cpu-timers.c checks task->signal != NULL to ensure this task is
alive and didn't pass __exit_signal(). This is correct but we are going
to change the lifetime rules for ->signal and never reset this pointer.
Change the code to check ->sighand instead, it doesn't matter which
pointer we check under tasklist, they both are cleared simultaneously.
As Roland pointed out, some of these changes are not strictly needed and
probably it makes sense to revert them later, when ->signal will be pinned
to task_struct. But this patch tries to ensure the subsequent changes in
fork/exit can't make any visible impact on posix cpu timers.

de_thread() and __exit_signal() use signal_struct->count/notify_count for
synchronization. We can simplify the code and use ->notify_count only.
Instead of comparing these two counters, we can change de_thread() to set
->notify_count = nr_of_sub_threads, then change __exit_signal() to
dec-and-test this counter and notify group_exit_task.
Note that __exit_signal() checks "notify_count > 0" just for symmetry with
exit_notify(), we could just check it is != 0.

signal_struct->count in its current form must die.
- it has no reasons to be atomic_t
- it looks like a reference counter, but it is not
- otoh, we really need to make task->signal refcountable, just look at
the extremely ugly task_rq_unlock_wait() called from __exit_signals().
- we should change the lifetime rules for task->signal, it should be
pinned to task_struct. We have a lot of code which can be simplified
after that.
- it is not needed! while the code is correct, any usage of this
counter is artificial, except fs/proc uses it correctly to show the
number of threads.
This series removes the usage of sig->count from exit pathes.
This patch:
Now that Veaceslav changed copy_signal() to use zalloc(), exit_notify()
can just check notify_count < 0 to ensure the execing sub-threads needs
the notification from us. No need to do other checks, notify_count != 0
must always mean ->group_exit_task != NULL is waiting for us.
