Prior to commit d64696905554 ("Reimplement RLIMIT_SIGPENDING on top of
ucounts") UCOUNT_RLIMIT_SIGPENDING rlimit was not enforced for a class of
signals. However now it's enforced unconditionally, even if
override_rlimit is set. This behavior change caused production issues.
For example, if the limit is reached and a process receives a SIGSEGV
signal, sigqueue_alloc fails to allocate the necessary resources for the
signal delivery, preventing the signal from being delivered with siginfo.
This prevents the process from correctly identifying the fault address and
handling the error. From the user-space perspective, applications are
unaware that the limit has been reached and that the siginfo is
effectively 'corrupted'. This can lead to unpredictable behavior and
crashes, as we observed with java applications.
Fix this by passing override_rlimit into inc_rlimit_get_ucounts() and skip
the comparison to max there if override_rlimit is set. This effectively
restores the old behavior.

This reverts commit fb97d2eb542faf19a8725afbd75cbc2518903210.
The logging was questionable to begin with, but it seems to actively
deadlock on the task lock.
"On second thought, let's not log core dump failures. 'Tis a silly place"
because if you can't tell your core dump is truncated, maybe you should
just fix your debugger instead of adding bugs to the kernel.

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

Missing, failed, or corrupted core dumps might impede crash
investigations. To improve reliability of that process and consequently
the programs themselves, one needs to trace the path from producing
a core dumpfile to analyzing it. That path starts from the core dump file
written to the disk by the kernel or to the standard input of a user
mode helper program to which the kernel streams the coredump contents.
There are cases where the kernel will interrupt writing the core out or
produce a truncated/not-well-formed core dump without leaving a note.
Add logging for the core dump collection failure paths to be able to reason
what has gone wrong when the core dump is malformed or missing.
Report the size of the data written to aid in diagnosing the user mode
helper.

io_uring can asynchronously add a task_work while the task is getting
freezed. TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL will prevent the task from sleeping in
do_freezer_trap(), and since the get_signal()'s relock loop doesn't
retry task_work, the task will spin there not being able to sleep
until the freezing is cancelled / the task is killed / etc.
Run task_works in the freezer path. Keep the patch small and simple
so it can be easily back ported, but we might need to do some cleaning
after and look if there are other places with similar problems.

This removes the signal/coredump hacks added for vhost_tasks in:
Commit f9010dbdce91 ("fork, vhost: Use CLONE_THREAD to fix freezer/ps regression")
When that patch was added vhost_tasks did not handle SIGKILL and would
try to ignore/clear the signal and continue on until the device's close
function was called. In the previous patches vhost_tasks and the vhost
drivers were converted to support SIGKILL by cleaning themselves up and
exiting. The hacks are no longer needed so this removes them.

ksig->ka and ksig->info are not initialized if get_signal() returns 0 or
if the caller is PF_USER_WORKER.
Check signr != 0 before SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS and move the "out" label down.
The latter means that ksig->sig won't be initialized if a PF_USER_WORKER
thread gets a fatal signal but this is fine, PF_USER_WORKER's don't use
ksig. And there is nothing new, in this case ksig->ka and ksig-info are
not initialized anyway. Add a comment.

Patch series "get_signal: minor cleanups and fix".
Lets remove this clear_siginfo() right now. It is incomplete (and thus
looks confusing) and unnecessary. Also, PF_USER_WORKER's already don't
get a fully initialized ksig anyway.
This patch (of 3):
Cleanup and preparation for the next changes.
get_signal() uses signr or ksig->info.si_signo or ksig->sig in a chaotic
way, this looks confusing. Change it to always use signr.

Right now we determine the scope of the signal based on the type of
pidfd. There are use-cases where it's useful to override the scope of
the signal. For example in [1]. Add flags to determine the scope of the
signal:
(1) PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD: send signal to specific thread reference by @pidfd
(2) PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP: send signal to thread-group of @pidfd
(2) PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP: send signal to process-group of @pidfd
Since we now allow specifying PIDFD_SEND_PROCESS_GROUP for
pidfd_send_signal() to send signals to process groups we need to adjust
the check restricting si_code emulation by userspace to account for
PIDTYPE_PGID.

Turn kill_pid_info() into kill_pid_info_type(), this allows to pass any

even if type = PIDTYPE_PID.

on PIDFD_THREAD.
While at it kill another TODO comment in pidfd_show_fdinfo(). As Christian
expains fdinfo reports f_flags, userspace can already detect PIDFD_THREAD.

With this flag:
- pidfd_open() doesn't require that the target task must be
a thread-group leader
- pidfd_poll() succeeds when the task exits and becomes a
zombie (iow, passes exit_notify()), even if it is a leader
and thread-group is not empty.
This means that the behaviour of pidfd_poll(PIDFD_THREAD,
pid-of-group-leader) is not well defined if it races with
exec() from its sub-thread; pidfd_poll() can succeed or not
depending on whether pidfd_task_exited() is called before
or after exchange_tids().
Perhaps we can improve this behaviour later, pidfd_poll()
can probably take sig->group_exec_task into account. But
this doesn't really differ from the case when the leader
exits before other threads (so pidfd_poll() succeeds) and
then another thread execs and pidfd_poll() will block again.
thread_group_exited() is no longer used, perhaps it can die.

recalc_sigpending_and_wake()
The purpose of recalc_sigpending_and_wake() is not clear, it looks
"obviously unneeded" because we are going to send the signal which can't
be blocked or ignored.
Add the comment to explain why we can't rely on send_signal_locked() and
make this logic more simple/explicit. recalc_sigpending_and_wake() has no
other users, it can die.
In fact I think we don't even need signal_wake_up(), the target task must
be either current or a TASK_TRACED child, otherwise the usage of siglock
is not safe. But this needs another change.

Make the print-fatal-signals message more useful by printing the comm
and the exe name for the process which received the fatal signal:
Before:
potentially unexpected fatal signal 4
potentially unexpected fatal signal 11
After:
buggy-program: pool: potentially unexpected fatal signal 4
some-daemon: gdbus: potentially unexpected fatal signal 11
comm used to be present but was removed in commit 681a90ffe829b8ee25d
("arc, print-fatal-signals: reduce duplicated information") because it's
also included as part of the later stack trace. Having the comm as part
of the main "unexpected fatal..." print is rather useful though when
analysing logs, and the exe name is also valuable as shown in the
examples above where the comm ends up having some generic name like
"pool".

Commit eda0047296a1 ("mm: make the page fault mmap locking killable")
intentionally made it much easier to trigger the "page fault fails
because a fatal signal is pending" situation, by having the mmap locking
fail early in that case.
We have long aborted page faults in other fatal cases when the actual IO
for a page is interrupted by SIGKILL - which is particularly useful for
the traditional case of NFS hanging due to network issues, but local
filesystems could cause it too if you happened to get the SIGKILL while
waiting for a page to be faulted in (eg lock_folio_maybe_drop_mmap()).
So aborting the page fault wasn't a new condition - but it now triggers
earlier, before we even get to 'handle_mm_fault()'. And as a result the
error doesn't go through our 'fault_signal_pending()' logic, and doesn't
get filtered away there.
Normally you'd never even notice, because if a fatal signal is pending,
the new SIGSEGV we send ends up being ignored anyway.
But it turns out that there is one very noticeable exception: if you
enable 'show_unhandled_signals', the aborted page fault will be logged
in the kernel messages, and you'll get a scary line looking something
like this in your logs:
pverados[2183248]: segfault at 55e5a00f9ae0 ip 000055e5a00f9ae0 sp 00007ffc0720bea8 error 14 in perl[55e5a00d4000+195000] likely on CPU 10 (core 4, socket 0)
which is rather misleading. It's not really a segfault at all, it's
just "the thread was killed before the page fault completed, so we
aborted the page fault".
Fix this by just making it clear that a pending fatal signal means that
any new signal coming in after that is implicitly handled. This will
avoid the misleading logging, since now the signal isn't 'unhandled' any
more.

"The changes for sysctl are in line with prior efforts to stop usage of
deprecated routines which incur recursion and also make it hard to
remove the empty array element in each sysctl array declaration.
The most difficult user to modify was parport which required a bit of
re-thinking of how to declare shared sysctls there, Joel Granados has
stepped up to the plate to do most of this work and eventual removal
of register_sysctl_table(). That work ended up saving us about 1465
bytes according to bloat-o-meter. Since we gained a few bloat-o-meter
karma points I moved two rather small sysctl arrays from
kernel/sysctl.c leaving us only two more sysctl arrays to move left.
Most changes have been tested on linux-next for about a month. The
last straggler patches are a minor parport fix, changes to the sysctl
kernel selftest so to verify correctness and prevent regressions for
the future change he made to provide an alternative solution for the
special sysctl mount point target which was using the now deprecated
sysctl child element.
This is all prep work to now finally be able to remove the empty array
element in all sysctl declarations / registrations which is expected
to save us a bit of bytes all over the kernel. That work will be

When switching from kthreads to vhost_tasks two bugs were added:
1. The vhost worker tasks's now show up as processes so scripts doing
ps or ps a would not incorrectly detect the vhost task as another
process. 2. kthreads disabled freeze by setting PF_NOFREEZE, but
vhost tasks's didn't disable or add support for them.
To fix both bugs, this switches the vhost task to be thread in the
process that does the VHOST_SET_OWNER ioctl, and has vhost_worker call
get_signal to support SIGKILL/SIGSTOP and freeze signals. Note that
SIGKILL/STOP support is required because CLONE_THREAD requires
CLONE_SIGHAND which requires those 2 signals to be supported.
This is a modified version of the patch written by Mike Christie
<michael.christie@oracle.com> which was a modified version of patch
originally written by Linus.
Much of what depended upon PF_IO_WORKER now depends on PF_USER_WORKER.
Including ignoring signals, setting up the register state, and having
get_signal return instead of calling do_group_exit.
Tidied up the vhost_task abstraction so that the definition of
vhost_task only needs to be visible inside of vhost_task.c. Making
it easier to review the code and tell what needs to be done where.
As part of this the main loop has been moved from vhost_worker into
vhost_task_fn. vhost_worker now returns true if work was done.
The main loop has been updated to call get_signal which handles
SIGSTOP, freezing, and collects the message that tells the thread to
exit as part of process exit. This collection clears
__fatal_signal_pending. This collection is not guaranteed to
clear signal_pending() so clear that explicitly so the schedule()
sleeps.
For now the vhost thread continues to exist and run work until the
last file descriptor is closed and the release function is called as
part of freeing struct file. To avoid hangs in the coredump
rendezvous and when killing threads in a multi-threaded exec. The
coredump code and de_thread have been modified to ignore vhost threads.
Remvoing the special case for exec appears to require teaching
vhost_dev_flush how to directly complete transactions in case
the vhost thread is no longer running.
Removing the special case for coredump rendezvous requires either the
above fix needed for exec or moving the coredump rendezvous into
get_signal.

POSIX timers using the CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID clock prefer the main
thread of a thread group for signal delivery. However, this has a
significant downside: it requires waking up a potentially idle thread.
Instead, prefer to deliver signals to the current thread (in the same
thread group) if SIGEV_THREAD_ID is not set by the user. This does not
change guaranteed semantics, since POSIX process CPU time timers have
never guaranteed that signal delivery is to a specific thread (without
SIGEV_THREAD_ID set).
The effect is that queueing the signal no longer wakes up potentially idle
threads, and the kernel is no longer biased towards delivering the timer
signal to any particular thread (which better distributes the timer signals
esp. when multiple timers fire concurrently).

This feature allows the scheduler to expose a per-memory map concurrency
ID to user-space. This concurrency ID is within the possible cpus range,
and is temporarily (and uniquely) assigned while threads are actively
running within a memory map. If a memory map has fewer threads than
cores, or is limited to run on few cores concurrently through sched
affinity or cgroup cpusets, the concurrency IDs will be values close
to 0, thus allowing efficient use of user-space memory for per-cpu
data structures.
This feature is meant to be exposed by a new rseq thread area field.
The primary purpose of this feature is to do the heavy-lifting needed
by memory allocators to allow them to use per-cpu data structures
efficiently in the following situations:
- Single-threaded applications,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with limited
cpu affinity mask,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with
restricted cgroup cpuset per container.
One of the key concern from scheduler maintainers is the overhead
associated with additional spin locks or atomic operations in the
scheduler fast-path. This is why the following optimization is
implemented.
On context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map,
transfer the mm_cid from prev to next without any atomic ops. This
takes care of use-cases involving frequent context switch between
threads belonging to the same memory map.
Additional optimizations can be done if the spin locks added when
context switching between threads belonging to different memory maps end
up being a performance bottleneck. Those are left out of this patch
though. A performance impact would have to be clearly demonstrated to
justify the added complexity.
The credit goes to Paul Turner (Google) for the original virtual cpu id
idea. This feature is implemented based on the discussions with Paul
Turner and Peter Oskolkov (Google), but I took the liberty to implement
scheduler fast-path optimizations and my own NUMA-awareness scheme. The
rumor has it that Google have been running a rseq vcpu_id extension
internally in production for a year. The tcmalloc source code indeed has
comments hinting at a vcpu_id prototype extension to the rseq system
call [1].
The following benchmarks do not show any significant overhead added to
the scheduler context switch by this feature:
* perf bench sched messaging (process)
Baseline: 86.5±0.3 ms
With mm_cid: 86.7±2.6 ms
* perf bench sched messaging (threaded)
Baseline: 84.3±3.0 ms

When handing the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT flag, the info in ksignal isn't cleared.
However, the info acquired by dequeue_synchronous_signal/dequeue_signal is
initialized and can be safely used. Fortunately, the fatal signal process
just uses the si_signo and doesn't use any other member. Even so, the
initialization before use is more safer.

Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler
in general.
By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is
ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake
up early, as is currently possible.
As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up
two PF_flags (yay!).
Specifically; the current scheme works a little like:
freezer_do_not_count();
schedule();
freezer_count();
And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer()
through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer
considers it frozen and continues.
However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count()
stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run
before its time.
That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel
threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace
etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible
for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back.
This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9)
where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run.
As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add
the following state transitions:
TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN
The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL
(IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state
is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer
causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is
lost).
The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since
their canonical state is in ->jobctl.
With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are
free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

In 403bad72b67d ("coredump: only SIGKILL should interrupt the
coredumping task") Oleg modified the kernel to drop all signals that
come in during a coredump except SIGKILL, and suggested that it might
be a good idea to generalize that to other cases after the process has
received a fatal signal.
Semantically it does not make sense to perform any signal delivery
after the process has already been killed.
When a signal is sent while a process is dying today the signal is
placed in the signal queue by __send_signal and a single task of the
process is woken up with signal_wake_up, if there are any tasks that
have not set PF_EXITING.
Take things one step farther and have prepare_signal report that all
signals that come after a process has been killed should be ignored.
While retaining the historical exception of allowing SIGKILL to
interrupt coredumps.
Update the comment in fs/coredump.c to make it clear coredumps are
special in being able to receive SIGKILL.
This changes things so that a process stopped in PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT can
not be made to escape it's ptracer and finish exiting by sending it
SIGKILL. That a process can be made to leave PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT and
escape it's tracer by sending the process a SIGKILL has been
complicating tracer's for no apparent advantage. If the process needs
to be made to leave PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT all that needs to happen is to
kill the proceses's tracer. This differs from the coredump code where
there is no other mechanism besides honoring SIGKILL to expedite the
end of coredumping.

These are indeed "should not happen" situations, but it turns out recent
changes made the 'task_is_stopped_or_trace()' case trigger (fix for that
exists, is pending more testing), and the BUG_ON() makes it
unnecessarily hard to actually debug for no good reason.
It's been that way for a long time, but let's make it clear: BUG_ON() is
not good for debugging, and should never be used in situations where you
could just say "this shouldn't happen, but we can continue".
Use WARN_ON_ONCE() instead to make sure it gets logged, and then just
continue running. Instead of making the system basically unusuable
because you crashed the machine while potentially holding some very core
locks (eg this function is commonly called while holding 'tasklist_lock'
for writing).

Pull ptrace_stop cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"While looking at the ptrace problems with PREEMPT_RT and the problems
Peter Zijlstra was encountering with ptrace in his freezer rewrite I
identified some cleanups to ptrace_stop that make sense on their own
and move make resolving the other problems much simpler.
The biggest issue is the habit of the ptrace code to change
task->__state from the tracer to suppress TASK_WAKEKILL from waking up
the tracee. No other code in the kernel does that and it is straight
forward to update signal_wake_up and friends to make that unnecessary.
Peter's task freezer sets frozen tasks to a new state TASK_FROZEN and
then it stores them by calling "wake_up_state(t, TASK_FROZEN)" relying
on the fact that all stopped states except the special stop states can
tolerate spurious wake up and recover their state.
The state of stopped and traced tasked is changed to be stored in
task->jobctl as well as in task->__state. This makes it possible for
the freezer to recover tasks in these special states, as well as
serving as a general cleanup. With a little more work in that
direction I believe TASK_STOPPED can learn to tolerate spurious wake
ups and become an ordinary stop state.
The TASK_TRACED state has to remain a special state as the registers
for a process are only reliably available when the process is stopped
in the scheduler. Fundamentally ptrace needs acess to the saved
register values of a task.
There are bunch of semi-random ptrace related cleanups that were found
while looking at these issues.
One cleanup that deserves to be called out is from commit 57b6de08b5f6
("ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs"). This
makes a change that is technically user space visible, in the handling
of what happens to a tracee when a tracer dies unexpectedly. According
to our testing and our understanding of userspace nothing cares that
spurious SIGTRAPs can be generated in that case"

Currently ptrace_stop() / do_signal_stop() rely on the special states
TASK_TRACED and TASK_STOPPED resp. to keep unique state. That is, this
state exists only in task->__state and nowhere else.
There's two spots of bother with this:
- PREEMPT_RT has task->saved_state which complicates matters,
meaning task_is_{traced,stopped}() needs to check an additional
variable.
- An alternative freezer implementation that itself relies on a
special TASK state would loose TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED and will
result in misbehaviour.
As such, add additional state to task->jobctl to track this state
outside of task->__state.
NOTE: this doesn't actually fix anything yet, just adds extra state.
--EWB
* didn't add a unnecessary newline in signal.h
* Update t->jobctl in signal_wake_up and ptrace_signal_wake_up
instead of in signal_wake_up_state. This prevents the clearing
of TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED from getting lost.
* Added warnings if JOBCTL_STOPPED or JOBCTL_TRACED are not cleared

Stop playing with tsk->__state to remove TASK_WAKEKILL while a ptrace
command is executing.
Instead remove TASK_WAKEKILL from the definition of TASK_TRACED, and
implement a new jobctl flag TASK_PTRACE_FROZEN. This new flag is set
in jobctl_freeze_task and cleared when ptrace_stop is awoken or in
jobctl_unfreeze_task (when ptrace_stop remains asleep).
In signal_wake_up add __TASK_TRACED to state along with TASK_WAKEKILL
when the wake up is for a fatal signal. Skip adding __TASK_TRACED
when TASK_PTRACE_FROZEN is not set. This has the same effect as
changing TASK_TRACED to __TASK_TRACED as all of the wake_ups that use
TASK_KILLABLE go through signal_wake_up.
Handle a ptrace_stop being called with a pending fatal signal.
Previously it would have been handled by schedule simply failing to
sleep. As TASK_WAKEKILL is no longer part of TASK_TRACED schedule
will sleep with a fatal_signal_pending. The code in signal_wake_up
guarantees that the code will be awaked by any fatal signal that
codes after TASK_TRACED is set.
Previously the __state value of __TASK_TRACED was changed to
TASK_RUNNING when woken up or back to TASK_TRACED when the code was
left in ptrace_stop. Now when woken up ptrace_stop now clears
JOBCTL_PTRACE_FROZEN and when left sleeping ptrace_unfreezed_traced
clears JOBCTL_PTRACE_FROZEN.

Long ago and far away there was a BUG_ON at the start of ptrace_stop
that did "BUG_ON(!(current->ptrace & PT_PTRACED));" [1]. The BUG_ON
had never triggered but examination of the code showed that the BUG_ON
could actually trigger. To complement removing the BUG_ON an attempt
to better handle the race was added.
The code detected the tracer had gone away and did not call
do_notify_parent_cldstop. The code also attempted to prevent
ptrace_report_syscall from sending spurious SIGTRAPs when the tracer
went away.
The code to detect when the tracer had gone away before sending a
signal to tracer was a legitimate fix and continues to work to this
date.
The code to prevent sending spurious SIGTRAPs is a failure. At the
time and until today the code only catches it when the tracer goes
away after siglock is dropped and before read_lock is acquired. If
the tracer goes away after read_lock is dropped a spurious SIGTRAP can
still be sent to the tracee. The tracer going away after read_lock
is dropped is the far likelier case as it is the bigger window.
Given that the attempt to prevent the generation of a SIGTRAP was a
failure and continues to be a failure remove the code that attempts to
do that. This simplifies the code in ptrace_stop and makes
ptrace_stop much easier to reason about.
To successfully deal with the tracer going away, all of the tracer's
instrumentation of the child would need to be removed, and reliably
detecting when the tracer has set a signal to continue with would need
to be implemented.
