Cleanup after commit 585d3bc06f
Trim includes of fdtable.h
Don't crap into descriptor table in binfmt_som
Trim includes in binfmt_elf

check_unsafe_exec() doesn't care about signal handlers sharing
New locking/refcounting for fs_struct
Take fs_struct handling to new file (fs/fs_struct.c)
Get rid of bumping fs_struct refcount in pivot_root(2)
Kill unsharing fs_struct in __set_personality()
We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement
task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr().
task_session_nr() has no callers since
2e2ba22ea4, we can remove it.
task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and
fs/coda.
This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills
__pgrp/__session and the related helpers.
The change in drivers/char/tty_io.c is cosmetic, but hopefully makes sense
anyway.

If /sbin/init ignores SIGCHLD and we re-parent a zombie, it is leaked.
reparent_thread() does do_notify_parent() which sets ->exit_signal = -1 in
this case. This means that nobody except us can reap it, the detached
task is not visible to do_wait().
Change reparent_thread() to return a boolean (like __pthread_detach) to
indicate that the thread is dead and must be released. Also change
forget_original_parent() to add the child to ptrace_dead list in this
case.

reparent_thread() uses ptrace_reparented() to check whether this thread is
ptraced, in that case we should not notify the new parent.
But ptrace_reparented() is not exactly correct when the reparented thread
is traced by /sbin/init, because forget_original_parent() has already
changed ->real_parent.
Currently, the only problem is the false notification. But with the next

If task_detached(p) == T, then either
a) p is not the main thread, we will find the group leader on the
->children list.
or
b) p is the group leader but its ->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD. This
can only happen when the last sub-thread has died, but in that case
that thread has already called kill_orphaned_pgrp() from
exit_notify().
In both cases kill_orphaned_pgrp() looks bogus.
Move the task_detached() check up and simplify the code, this is also
right from the "common sense" pov: we should do nothing with the detached
childs, except move them to the new parent's ->children list.

ignoring_children() takes parent->sighand->siglock and checks
k_sigaction[SIGCHLD] atomically. But this buys nothing, we can't get the
"really" wrong result even if we race with sigaction(SIGCHLD). If we read
the "stale" sa_handler/sa_flags we can pretend it was changed right after
the check.
Remove spin_lock(->siglock), and kill "int ign" which caches the result of
ignoring_children() which becomes rather trivial.
Perhaps it makes sense to export this helper, do_notify_parent() can use
it too.

do_wait(WSTOPPED) assumes that p->state must be == TASK_STOPPED, this is
not true if the leader is already dead. Check SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED instead
and use signal->group_exit_code.
Trivial test-case:
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
pause();
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t thr;
pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
pthread_exit(NULL);
return 0;
}
It doesn't react to ^Z (and then to ^C or ^\). The task is stopped, but
bash can't see this.
The bug is very old, and it was reported multiple times. This patch was sent
more than a year ago (http://marc.info/?t=119713920000003) but it was ignored.
This change also fixes other oddities (but not all) in this area. For
example, before this patch:
$ sleep 100
^Z
[1]+ Stopped sleep 100
$ strace -p `pidof sleep`
Process 11442 attached - interrupt to quit
strace hangs in do_wait(), because ->exit_code was already consumed by
bash. After this patch, strace happily proceeds:
--- SIGTSTP (Stopped) @ 0 (0) ---
restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>
To me, this looks much more "natural" and correct.
Another example. Let's suppose we have the main thread M and sub-thread
T, the process is stopped, and its parent did wait(WSTOPPED). Now we can
ptrace T but not M. This looks at least strange to me.
Imho, do_wait() should not confuse the per-thread ptrace stops with the
per-process job control stops.

Add support for threaded interrupt handlers:
A device driver can request that its main interrupt handler runs in a
thread. To achive this the device driver requests the interrupt with
request_threaded_irq() and provides additionally to the handler a
thread function. The handler function is called in hard interrupt
context and needs to check whether the interrupt originated from the
device. If the interrupt originated from the device then the handler
can either return IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. IRQ_HANDLED is
returned when no further action is required. IRQ_WAKE_THREAD causes
the genirq code to invoke the threaded (main) handler. When
IRQ_WAKE_THREAD is returned handler must have disabled the interrupt
on the device level. This is mandatory for shared interrupt handlers,
but we need to do it as well for obscure x86 hardware where disabling
an interrupt on the IO_APIC level redirects the interrupt to the
legacy PIC interrupt lines.

We're going to split the process wide cpu accounting into two parts:
- clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
from user context.
- timers; which need constant time tracing but can affort the overhead
because they're default off -- and rare.
The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, for this
we need to re-add the exit stats that were removed in the initial itimer
rework (f06febc9: timers: fix itimer/many thread hang).
Furthermore, since that full sum can be rather slow for large thread groups
and we have the complete dead task stats, revert the do_notify_parent time

xacct_add_tsk() relies on do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() and uses
mm->hiwater_xxx directly, this leads to 2 problems:
- taskstats_user_cmd() can call fill_pid()->xacct_add_tsk() at any
moment before the task exits, so we should check the current values of
rss/vm anyway.
- do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls are racy. An exiting thread can
be preempted right before mm->hiwater_xxx = new_val, and another thread
can use A_LOT of memory and exit in between. When the first thread
resumes it can be the last thread in the thread group, in that case we
report the wrong hiwater_xxx values which do not take A_LOT into
account.
Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() helpers and change
xacct_add_tsk() to use them. The first helper will also be used by
rusage->ru_maxrss accounting.
Kill do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls. Unless we are going to
decrease rss/vm there is no point to update mm->hiwater_xxx, and nobody
can look at this mm_struct when exit_mmap() actually unmaps the memory.

Change counter inheritance from a 'push' to a 'pull' model: instead of

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Impact: implement new performance feature
Counter inheritance can be used to run performance counters in a workload,
transparently - and pipe back the counter results to the parent counter.
Inheritance for performance counters works the following way: when creating
a counter it can be marked with the .inherit=1 flag. Such counters are then
'inherited' by all child tasks (be they fork()-ed or clone()-ed). These
counters get inherited through exec() boundaries as well (except through
setuid boundaries).
The counter values get added back to the parent counter(s) when the child
task(s) exit - much like stime/utime statistics are gathered. So inherited
counters are ideal to gather summary statistics about an application's
behavior via shell commands, without having to modify that application.
The timec.c command utilizes counter inheritance:

Sample output:
$ ./timec -e 1 -e 3 -e 5 ls -lR /usr/include/ >/dev/null

Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely
Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.
So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.
Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork
I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.
