These values represent the nesting level of a namespace and pids living in it,
and it's always non-negative.
Turning this from int to unsigned int saves some space in pid.c (11 bytes on
x86 and 64 on ia64) by letting the compiler optimize the pid_nr_ns a bit.
E.g. on ia64 this removes the sign extension calls, which compiler adds to
optimize access to pid->nubers[ns->level].

1. sys_getpgid() needs rcu_read_lock() to derive the pgrp _nr, even if
the task is current, otherwise we can race with another thread which
does sys_setpgid().
2. Use rcu_read_lock() instead of tasklist_lock when pid != 0, make sure
that we don't use the NULL pid if the task exits right after successful
find_task_by_vpid().

Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea.
Without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the
caller races with setprgp()/setsid() which does detach_pid() + attach_pid().
This can happen even if task == current.
Intoduce the new helper, change_pid(), which should be used instead. This way
the caller always sees the special pid != NULL, either old or new.
Also change the prototype of attach_pid(), it always returns 0 and nobody
check the returned value.

Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea.
Unless task == current, without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp()
can return NULL if the caller races with de_thread() which switches the group
leader.
Change transfer_pid() to not clear old->pids[type].pid for the old leader.
This means that its .pid can point to "nowhere", but this is already true for
sub-threads, and the old leader is not group_leader() any longer. IOW, with
or without this change we can't trust task's special pids unless it is the
group leader.
With this change the following code
rcu_read_lock();
task = find_task_by_xxx();
do_something(task_pgrp(task), task_session(task));
rcu_read_unlock();
can't race with exec and hit the NULL pid.

There are some places that are known to operate on tasks'
global pids only:
* the rest_init() call (called on boot)
* the kgdb's getthread
* the create_kthread() (since the kthread is run in init ns)
So use the find_task_by_pid_ns(..., &init_pid_ns) there
and schedule the find_task_by_pid for removal.

The pid to lookup a task by is passed inside taskstats code via genetlink
message.
Since netlink packets are now processed in the context of the sending task,
this is correct to lookup the task with find_task_by_vpid() here.
Besides, I fix the call to fill_pid() from taskstats_exit(), since the
tsk->pid is not required in fill_pid() in this case, and the pid field on
task_struct is going to be deprecated as well.

The callers of free_pidmap() pass 2 members of "struct upid", we can just
pass "struct upid *" instead. Shaves off 10 bytes from pid.o.
Also, simplify the alloc_pid's "out_free:" error path a little bit. This
way it looks more clear which subset of pid->numbers[] we are freeing.

Afaics, currently there are no kernel problems with ptracing init, it can't
lose SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag and be killed/stopped by accident.
The ability to strace/debug init can be very useful if you try to figure out
why it does not work as expected.
However, admin should know what he does, "gdb /sbin/init 1" stops init, it
can't reap orphaned zombies or take care of /etc/inittab until continued. It
is even possible to crash init (and thus the whole system) if you wish,
ptracer has full control.

Currently the buggy /sbin/init hangs if SIGSEGV/etc happens. The kernel sends
the signal, init dequeues it and ignores, returns from the exception, repeats
the faulting instruction, and so on forever.
Imho, such a behaviour is not good. I think that the explicit loud death of
the buggy /sbin/init is better than the silent hang.
Change force_sig_info() to clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE when the task should be
really killed.

The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal
signals.
- The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver()
protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal
signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread.
If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not
right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader),
this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have.
- Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this
is just wrong.
Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems. It also helps
to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches.
Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used
by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits.

This wasn't documented, but as Atsushi Tsuji pointed out
check_kill_permission() needs tasklist_lock for task_session_nr(). I missed
this fact when removed tasklist from the callers.
Change check_kill_permission() to take tasklist_lock for the SIGCONT case.
Re-order security checks so that we take tasklist_lock only if/when it is
actually needed. This is a minimal fix for now, tasklist will be removed
later.
Also change the code to use task_session() instead of task_session_nr().
Also, remove the SIGCONT check from cap_task_kill(), it is bogus (and the
whole function is bogus. Serge, Eric, why it is still alive?).
