To avoid lock contention, we distribute the sched_timer calls across the
cpus so they do not trigger at the same instant. However, I used NR_CPUS,
which can cause needless grouping on small smp systems depending on your
kernel config. This patch converts to using num_possible_cpus() so we
spread it as evenly as possible on every machine.
Briefly tested w/ NR_CPUS=255 and verified reduced contention.

Lomesh reported poll returning EINTR during suspend/resume cycle. This is
caused by the STOP/CONT cycle that the freezer uses, generating a pending
signal for what in effect is an ignored signal. In general poll is a
little eager in returning EINTR, when it could try not bother userspace and
simply restart the syscall. Both select and ppoll do use ERESTARTNOHAND to
restart the syscall. Oleg points out that simply using ERESTARTNOHAND will
cause poll to restart with original timeout value. which could ultimately
lead to process never returning to userspace. Instead use
ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK, and restart poll with updated timeout value.
Inspired by Manfred's use ERESTARTNOHAND in poll patch.

Essentially a corrupted minix dir inode reporting a very large

permission() checks that MAY_EXEC is only allowed on regular files if at least
one execute bit is set in the file mode.
generic_permission() already ensures this, so the extra check in permission()
is superfluous.
If the filesystem defines it's own ->permission() the check may still be
needed. In this case move it after ->permission(). This is needed because
filesystems such as FUSE may need to refresh the inode attributes before
checking permissions.
This check should be moved inside ->permission(), but that's another story.

This adds the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS option to /proc/pid/coredump_filter.
This dumps the first page (only) of a private file mapping if it appears to
be a mapping of an ELF file. Including these pages in the core dump may
give sufficient identifying information to associate the original DSO and
executable file images and their debugging information with a core file in
a generic way just from its contents (e.g. when those binaries were built
with ld --build-id). I expect this to become the default behavior
eventually. Existing versions of gdb can be confused by the core dumps it
creates, so it won't enabled by default for some time to come. Soon many
people will have systems with a gdb that handle these dumps, so they can
arrange to set the bit at boot and have it inherited system-wide.
This also cleans up the checking of the MMF_DUMP_* flag bits, which did not
need to be using atomic macros.

Two threads, T1 and T2. T2 ptraces P, and P is not a child of ptracer's
thread group. P exits and goes to TASK_ZOMBIE.
T1 does wait_task_zombie(P):
P->exit_state = TASK_DEAD;
...
read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
T2 does exit(), takes tasklist,
forget_original_parent() does
__ptrace_unlink(P) but doesn't
call do_notify_parent(P) because
p->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD.
Now, P is not visible to our process: __ptrace_unlink() removed it from
->children. We should send notification to P->parent and release P if and
only if SIGCHLD is ignored.
And we have 3 bugs:
1. P->parent does do_wait() and gets -ECHILD (P is on ->parent->children,
but its state is TASK_DEAD).
2. // wait_task_zombie() continues
if (put_user(...)) {
// TODO: is this safe?
p->exit_state = EXIT_ZOMBIE;
return;
}
we return without notification/release, task_struct leaked.
Solution: ignore -EFAULT and proceed. It is an application's bug if
we can't fill infop/stat_addr (in case of VM_FAULT_OOM we have much
more problems).
3. // wait_task_zombie() continues
if (p->real_parent != p->parent) {
// Not taken, it was untraced'ed
...
}
release_task(p);
we released the task which we shouldn't.
Solution: check ->real_parent != ->parent before, under tasklist_lock,
but use ptrace_unlink() instead of __ptrace_unlink() to check ->ptrace.
This patch hopefully solves 2 and 3, the 1st bug will be fixed later, we need
some cleanups in forget_original_parent/reparent_thread.
However, the first race is very unlikely and not critical, so I hope it makes
sense to fix 1 and 2 for now.
4. Small cleanup: don't "restore" EXIT_ZOMBIE unless we know we are not going
to realease the child.

This adds the linux/elfcore-compat.h header file, which is the CONFIG_COMPAT

fs/binfmt_elf.c for its compat code can use this header to replace the
hand-copied definitions of the compat variants of struct elf_prstatus et al.
Only the pr_reg field varies by arch, so asm/{compat,elf}.h must define
compat_elf_gregset_t before linux/elfcore-compat.h can be used.
It's a clean-up that every arch with compat core dumping code can benefit
from. I only touched the ones I have handy to test at home. Doing the same

With or without this patch, multi-threaded init's are not fully supported,
but do_exit() is completely wrong. This becomes a real problem when we
support pid namespaces.
1. do_exit() panics when the main thread of /sbin/init exits. It should not
until the whole thread group exits. Move the code below, under the
"if (group_dead)" check.
Note: this means that forget_original_parent() can use an already dead
child_reaper()'s task_struct. This is OK for /sbin/init because
- do_wait() from alive sub-thread still can reap a zombie, we iterate
over all sub-thread's ->children lists
- do_notify_parent() will wakeup some alive sub-thread because it sends
the group-wide signal
However, we should remove choose_new_parent()->BUG_ON(reaper->exit_state)
for this.
2. We are playing games with ->nsproxy->pid_ns. This code is bogus today, and
it has to be changed anyway when we really support pid namespaces, just
remove it.

The Linux ELF loader is quite complicated and messy code (that could
probably need a rewrite, but that's a different chapter). One particular
messy part in it is the support for non ELF a.out ld.sos. This was
originally added to make transition from a.out to ELF easier because an
a.out ELF ld.so could be still build using an older a.out toolkit. But by
now that should be fully obsolete and removing it would clean up
binfmt_elf.c up a bit.
I propose to deprecate this support and remove for 2.6.25.
Drawback is that someone still runs their system with a.out ld.so
they would need to update the ld.so when updating to a new kernel.
This patch just adds an entry to the deprecation file and a printk
warning users.
