6341c393fc tracehook: exec
This moves all the ptrace hooks related to exec into tracehook.h inlines.

This also lifts the calls for tracing out of the binfmt load_binary hooks
into search_binary_handler() after it calls into the binfmt module.  This
change has no effect, since all the binfmt modules' load_binary functions
did the call at the end on success, and now search_binary_handler() does
it immediately after return if successful.  We consolidate the repeated
code, and binfmt modules no longer need to import ptrace_notify().

565b9b14e7 coredump: format_corename: fix the "core_uses_pid" logic
I don't understand why the multi-thread coredump implies the core_uses_pid
behaviour, but we shouldn't use mm->mm_users for that.  This counter can
be incremented by get_task_mm().  Use the valued returned by
coredump_wait() instead.

Also, remove the "const char *pattern" argument, format_corename() can use
core_pattern directly.

a94e2d408e coredump: kill mm->core_done
Now that we have core_state->dumper list we can use it to wake up the
sub-threads waiting for the coredump completion.

This uglifies the code and .text grows by 47 bytes, but otoh mm_struct
lessens by sizeof(struct completion).  Also, with this change we can
decouple exit_mm() from the coredumping code.

b564daf806 coredump: construct the list of coredumping threads at startup time
binfmt->core_dump() has to iterate over the all threads in system in order
to find the coredumping threads and construct the list using the
GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

With this patch each thread allocates the list node on exit_mm()'s stack and
adds itself to the list.

This allows us to do further changes:

	- simplify ->core_dump()

	- change exit_mm() to clear ->mm first, then wait for ->core_done.
	  this makes the coredumping process visible to oom_kill

	- kill mm->core_done

999d9fc167 coredump: move mm->core_waiters into struct core_state
Move mm->core_waiters into "struct core_state" allocated on stack.  This
shrinks mm_struct a little bit and allows further changes.

This patch mostly does s/core_waiters/core_state.  The only essential
change is that coredump_wait() must clear mm->core_state before return.

The coredump_wait()'s path is uglified and .text grows by 30 bytes, this
is fixed by the next patch.

15b9f360c0 coredump: zap_threads() must skip kernel threads
The main loop in zap_threads() must skip kthreads which may use the same
mm.  Otherwise we "kill" this thread erroneously (for example, it can not
fork or exec after that), and the coredumping task stucks in the
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state forever because of the wrong ->core_waiters
count.

7b34e4283c introduce PF_KTHREAD flag
Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads.  It is set
by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in
kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead).

daemonize() was changed as well.  In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is
racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway.

This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler().
Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in
start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC.  But I think this
doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die
soon.

96a8e13ed4 exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACK
Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.

Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup.  Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

We only need it for the /sbin/loader hack for OSF/1 executables, and we
don't want to include it otherwise.

While we're at it, remove the redundant '&& CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT'
in the ifdef around that code. It's already dependent on __alpha__, and
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is hard-coded to 'y' there.

cbaffba12c posix timers: discard SI_TIMER signals on exec
Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements
from the very beginning, and then by Linus.

As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal
because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending
signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this
surprising. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10460

4cd1a8fc3d memcg: fix possible panic when CONFIG_MM_OWNER=y
When mm destruction happens, we should pass mm_update_next_owner() the old mm.
 But unfortunately new mm is passed in exec_mmap().

Thus, kernel panic is possible when a multi-threaded process uses exec().

Also, the owner member comment description is wrong.  mm->owner does not
necessarily point to the thread group leader.

925d1c401f procfs task exe symlink
The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
the first executable VMA.  Then the path to the file is reconstructed and
reported as the result.

Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems.
This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems.  Instead of
walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a
reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct.

That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file
from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs.  So we track the number
of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is
unmapped.  This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

cf475ad28a cgroups: add an owner to the mm_struct
Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.

This approach was suggested by Paul Menage.  The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined.  It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.

A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.

This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes.  The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.

I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.

This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.

After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

175a06ae30 exec: remove argv_len from struct linux_binprm
I noticed that 2.6.24.2 calculates bprm->argv_len at do_execve().  But it
doesn't update bprm->argv_len after "remove_arg_zero() +
copy_strings_kernel()" at load_script() etc.

audit_bprm() is called from search_binary_handler() and
search_binary_handler() is called from load_script() etc.  Thus, I think the
condition check

  if (bprm->argv_len > (audit_argv_kb << 10))
          return -E2BIG;

in audit_bprm() might return wrong result when strlen(removed_arg) !=
strlen(spliced_args).  Why not update bprm->argv_len at load_script() etc.  ?

By the way, 2.6.25-rc3 seems to not doing the condition check.  Is the field
bprm->argv_len no longer needed?
