The intention is to return negative error codes.  "pid" is already
negative but we accidentally negate it again back to positive.

915eed20e4 um: Support kcov
This adds support for kcov to UML.

There is a small problem where UML will randomly segfault during boot;
this is because current_thread_info() occasionally returns an invalid
(non-NULL) pointer and we try to dereference it in
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(). I consider this a bug in UML itself and this
patch merely exposes it.

Remove the insecure 0777 mode for temporary file to prohibit other users
to change the executable mapped code.

An attacker could gain access to the mapped file descriptor from the
temporary file (before it is unlinked) in a read-only mode but it should
not be accessible in write mode to avoid arbitrary code execution.

permission now depends on the current umask(2) and the implementation of

d5e3f5cbe5 um: Prevent IRQ handler reentrancy
The existing IRQ handler design in UML does not prevent reentrancy

This is mitigated by fd-enable/fd-disable semantics for the IO
portion of the UML subsystem. The timer, however, can and is
re-entered resulting in very deep stack usage and occasional
stack exhaustion.

This patch prevents this by checking if there is a timer
interrupt in-flight before processing any pending timer interrupts.

0754fb298f uml: flush stdout before forking
I was seeing some really weird behaviour where piping UML's output
somewhere would cause output to get duplicated:

  $ ./vmlinux | head -n 40
  Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE
  OK
  Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE
  OK
  Checking advanced syscall emulation patch for ptrace...Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE
  OK
  Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE

This is because these tests do a fork() which duplicates the non-empty
stdout buffer, then glibc flushes the duplicated buffer as each child
exits.

A simple workaround is to flush before forking.

2eb5f31bc4 um: Switch clocksource to hrtimers
UML is using an obsolete itimer call for
all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing
in its userspace portion resulting in a long list
of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses
ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the
timer being dependent on it running and the cpu
load.

This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution
timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer
correctly to the UML userspace.

Fixes:
 - crashes when hosts suspends/resumes
 - broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead
   of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior
   by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events
   are relayed instead.
 - kernel network packet scheduling disciplines
 - tcp behaviour especially under load
 - various timer related corner cases

Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.

6b1873371c um: Fix waitpid() usage in helper code
If UML is executing a helper program it is using
waitpid() with the __WCLONE flag to wait for the program
as the helper is executed from a clone()'ed thread.
While using __WCLONE is perfectly fine for clone()'ed
childs it won't detect terminated childs if the helper
has issued an execve().

We have to use __WALL to wait for both clone()'ed and
regular childs to detect the termination before and
after an execve().

0d71832e30 uml: Simplify tempdir logic.
Inferring the mount hierarchy correctly from /proc/mounts is hard when MS_MOVE
may have been used, and the previous code did it wrongly. This change simplifies
the logic to only require that /dev/shm be _on_ tmpfs (which can be checked
trivially with statfs) rather than that it be a _mountpoint_ of tmpfs, since
there isn't a compelling reason to be that strict. We also now check for tmpfs
on whatever directory we ultimately use so that the user is better informed.

This change also moves the more standard TMPDIR environment variable check ahead
of the others.

any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick,
idle dynticks, full dynticks.

As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions
need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order
to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure.

It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to
that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code
and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now.
So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ.

On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if
CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to
enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.

But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into
a circular dependency:

1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select
   CONFIG_NO_HZ
2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE

We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it
may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour.

So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option
which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks
(that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code)
and select it from their referring Kconfig.

Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ
to it for backward compatibility.

Linus Torvalds
4e21fc138b Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal
Pull third pile of kernel_execve() patches from Al Viro:
 "The last bits of infrastructure for kernel_thread() et.al., with
  alpha/arm/x86 use of those.  Plus sanitizing the asm glue and
  do_notify_resume() on alpha, fixing the "disabled irq while running
  task_work stuff" breakage there.

  At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work
  can be done independently for different architectures.  The only
  pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are
  restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for
  the next cycle.

  I thought we'd have to wait for all of them done before we start
  eliminating the longjump-style insanity in kernel_execve(), but it
  turned out there's a very simple way to do that without flagday-style
  changes."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  alpha: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  arm: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  x86, um: convert to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  infrastructure for saner ret_from_kernel_thread semantics
  make sure that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselves
  make sure that we always have a return path from kernel_execve()
  ppc: eeh_event should just use kthread_run()
  don't bother with kernel_thread/kernel_execve for launching linuxrc
  alpha: get rid of switch_stack argument of do_work_pending()
  alpha: don't bother passing switch_stack separately from regs
  alpha: take SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME loop into signal.c
  alpha: simplify TIF_NEED_RESCHED handling
