"This includes Roman's cgroup2 freezer implementation.
It's a separate machanism from cgroup1 freezer. Instead of blocking
user tasks in arbitrary uninterruptible sleeps, the new implementation
extends jobctl stop - frozen tasks are trapped in jobctl stop until
thawed and can be killed and ptraced. Lots of thanks to Oleg for
sheperding the effort.
Other than that, there are a few trivial changes"

The problem is caused by the ptrace_signal() call in the for loop
in get_signal(). There is a cgroup_enter_frozen() call inside
ptrace_signal(), so after exit from ptrace_signal() the task->frozen
bit might be set. In this case do_group_exit() can be called with the
task->frozen bit set and trigger the warning. This is only place where
we can leave the loop with the task->frozen bit set and without
setting JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE and TIF_SIGPENDING.
To resolve this problem, let's move cgroup_leave_frozen(true) call to
just after the fatal label. If the task is going to die, the frozen
bit must be cleared no matter how we get into this point.

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pidfds at process creation
time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the clone() system
call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to
clone() instead of making it a separate system call.
After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the
parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid
and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information
thus becomes rather trivial.
As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on
anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made
unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel
code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd,
signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small.
The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes
to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional.
A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel
supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in
the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status
file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d".
To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes
with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of
CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free
access to process metadata through /proc/<pid>.
Further work based on this patchset has been done by Joel. His work
makes pidfds pollable. It finished too late for this merge window. I
would prefer to have it sitting in linux-next for a while and send it
for inclusion during the 5.3 merge window"

Let pidfd_send_signal() use pidfds retrieved via CLONE_PIDFD. With this
patch pidfd_send_signal() becomes independent of procfs. This fullfils
the request made when we merged the pidfd_send_signal() patchset. The
pidfd_send_signal() syscall is now always available allowing for it to
be used by users without procfs mounted or even users without procfs
support compiled into the kernel.

If freezing of a cgroup races with waking of a task from
the frozen state (like waiting in vfork() or in do_signal_stop()),
a spurious transition of the cgroup state can happen.
The task enters cgroup_leave_frozen(true), the cgroup->nr_frozen_tasks
counter decrements, and the cgroup is switched to the unfrozen state.
To prevent it, let's reserve cgroup_leave_frozen(true) for
terminating processes and use cgroup_leave_frozen(false) otherwise.
To avoid busy-looping in the signal handling loop waiting
for JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE set from the cgroup freezing path,
let's do it explicitly in cgroup_leave_frozen(), if the task
is going to stay frozen.

Cgroup v1 implements the freezer controller, which provides an ability
to stop the workload in a cgroup and temporarily free up some
resources (cpu, io, network bandwidth and, potentially, memory)
for some other tasks. Cgroup v2 lacks this functionality.
This patch implements freezer for cgroup v2.
Cgroup v2 freezer tries to put tasks into a state similar to jobctl
stop. This means that tasks can be killed, ptraced (using
PTRACE_SEIZE*), and interrupted. It is possible to attach to
a frozen task, get some information (e.g. read registers) and detach.
It's also possible to migrate a frozen tasks to another cgroup.
This differs cgroup v2 freezer from cgroup v1 freezer, which mostly
tried to imitate the system-wide freezer. However uninterruptible
sleep is fine when all tasks are going to be frozen (hibernation case),
it's not the acceptable state for some subset of the system.
Cgroup v2 freezer is not supporting freezing kthreads.
If a non-root cgroup contains kthread, the cgroup still can be frozen,
but the kthread will remain running, the cgroup will be shown
as non-frozen, and the notification will not be delivered.
* PTRACE_ATTACH is not working because non-fatal signal delivery
is blocked in frozen state.
There are some interface differences between cgroup v1 and cgroup v2
freezer too, which are required to conform the cgroup v2 interface
design principles:
1) There is no separate controller, which has to be turned on:
the functionality is always available and is represented by
cgroup.freeze and cgroup.events cgroup control files.
2) The desired state is defined by the cgroup.freeze control file.
Any hierarchical configuration is allowed.
3) The interface is asynchronous. The actual state is available
using cgroup.events control file ("frozen" field). There are no
dedicated transitional states.
4) It's allowed to make any changes with the cgroup hierarchy
(create new cgroups, remove old cgroups, move tasks between cgroups)
no matter if some cgroups are frozen.

As stated in the original commit for pidfd_send_signal() we don't allow
to signal processes through O_PATH file descriptors since it is
semantically equivalent to a write on the pidfd.
We already correctly error out right now and return EBADF if an O_PATH
fd is passed. This is because we use file->f_op to detect whether a
pidfd is passed and O_PATH fds have their file->f_op set to empty_fops
in do_dentry_open() and thus fail the test.
Thus, there is no regression. It's just semantically correct to use
fdget() and return an error right from there instead of taking a
reference and returning an error later.

The current sys_pidfd_send_signal() silently turns signals with explicit
SI_USER context that are sent to non-current tasks into signals with
kernel-generated siginfo.
This is unlike do_rt_sigqueueinfo(), which returns -EPERM in this case.
If a user actually wants to send a signal with kernel-provided siginfo,
they can do that with pidfd_send_signal(pidfd, sig, NULL, 0); so allowing
this case is unnecessary.
Instead of silently replacing the siginfo, just bail out with an error;
this is consistent with other interfaces and avoids special-casing behavior
based on security checks.

Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
the processes they refer to.
With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
quite handy.
There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
the future once they are needed.
This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
a pidfd.
Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:

The kill() syscall operates on process identifiers (pid). After a process
has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a
signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. This
issue has often surfaced and there has been a push to address this problem [1].
This patch uses file descriptors (fd) from proc/<pid> as stable handles on
struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. The fd
can be used to send signals to the process it refers to.
Thus, the new syscall pidfd_send_signal() is introduced to solve this
problem. Instead of pids it operates on process fds (pidfd).
/* prototype and argument /*
long pidfd_send_signal(int pidfd, int sig, siginfo_t *info, unsigned int flags);
/* syscall number 424 */
The syscall number was chosen to be 424 to align with Arnd's rework in his
y2038 to minimize merge conflicts (cf. [25]).
In addition to the pidfd and signal argument it takes an additional
siginfo_t and flags argument. If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then
pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to kill(<positive-pid>, <signal>). If it
is not NULL pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to rt_sigqueueinfo().
The flags argument is added to allow for future extensions of this syscall.
It currently needs to be passed as 0. Failing to do so will cause EINVAL.
/* pidfd_send_signal() replaces multiple pid-based syscalls */
The pidfd_send_signal() syscall currently takes on the job of
rt_sigqueueinfo(2) and parts of the functionality of kill(2), Namely, when a
positive pid is passed to kill(2). It will however be possible to also
replace tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) if this syscall is extended.
/* sending signals to threads (tid) and process groups (pgid) */
Specifically, the pidfd_send_signal() syscall does currently not operate on
process groups or threads. This is left for future extensions.
In order to extend the syscall to allow sending signal to threads and
process groups appropriately named flags (e.g. PIDFD_TYPE_PGID, and
PIDFD_TYPE_TID) should be added. This implies that the flags argument will
determine what is signaled and not the file descriptor itself. Put in other
words, grouping in this api is a property of the flags argument not a
property of the file descriptor (cf. [13]). Clarification for this has been
requested by Eric (cf. [19]).
When appropriate extensions through the flags argument are added then
pidfd_send_signal() can additionally replace the part of kill(2) which
operates on process groups as well as the tgkill(2) and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) syscalls.
How such an extension could be implemented has been very roughly sketched
in [14], [15], and [16]. However, this should not be taken as a commitment
to a particular implementation. There might be better ways to do it.
Right now this is intentionally left out to keep this patchset as simple as
possible (cf. [4]).
/* naming */
The syscall had various names throughout iterations of this patchset:
- procfd_signal()
- procfd_send_signal()
- taskfd_send_signal()
In the last round of reviews it was pointed out that given that if the
flags argument decides the scope of the signal instead of different types
of fds it might make sense to either settle for "procfd_" or "pidfd_" as
prefix. The community was willing to accept either (cf. [17] and [18]).
Given that one developer expressed strong preference for the "pidfd_"
prefix (cf. [13]) and with other developers less opinionated about the name
we should settle for "pidfd_" to avoid further bikeshedding.
The "_send_signal" suffix was chosen to reflect the fact that the syscall
takes on the job of multiple syscalls. It is therefore intentional that the
name is not reminiscent of neither kill(2) nor rt_sigqueueinfo(2). Not the
fomer because it might imply that pidfd_send_signal() is a replacement for
kill(2), and not the latter because it is a hassle to remember the correct
spelling - especially for non-native speakers - and because it is not
descriptive enough of what the syscall actually does. The name
"pidfd_send_signal" makes it very clear that its job is to send signals.
/* zombies */
Zombies can be signaled just as any other process. No special error will be
reported since a zombie state is an unreliable state (cf. [3]). However,
this can be added as an extension through the @flags argument if the need
ever arises.
/* cross-namespace signals */
The patch currently enforces that the signaler and signalee either are in
the same pid namespace or that the signaler's pid namespace is an ancestor
of the signalee's pid namespace. This is done for the sake of simplicity
and because it is unclear to what values certain members of struct
siginfo_t would need to be set to (cf. [5], [6]).
/* compat syscalls */
It became clear that we would like to avoid adding compat syscalls
(cf. [7]). The compat syscall handling is now done in kernel/signal.c
itself by adding __copy_siginfo_from_user_generic() which lets us avoid
compat syscalls (cf. [8]). It should be noted that the addition of
__copy_siginfo_from_user_any() is caused by a bug in the original
implementation of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) (cf. 12).
With upcoming rework for syscall handling things might improve
significantly (cf. [11]) and __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() will not gain
any additional callers.

Q-01: (Florian Weimer [20], Andrew Morton [21])
What happens when the target process has exited?
A-01: Sending the signal will fail with ESRCH (cf. [22]).
Q-02: (Andrew Morton [21])
Is the task_struct pinned by the fd?
A-02: No. A reference to struct pid is kept. struct pid - as far as I
understand - was created exactly for the reason to not require to
pin struct task_struct (cf. [22]).
Q-03: (Andrew Morton [21])
Does the entire procfs directory remain visible? Just one entry
within it?
A-03: The same thing that happens right now when you hold a file descriptor
to /proc/<pid> open (cf. [22]).
Q-04: (Andrew Morton [21])
Does the pid remain reserved?
A-04: No. This patchset guarantees a stable handle not that pids are not
recycled (cf. [22]).
Q-05: (Andrew Morton [21])
Do attempts to signal that fd return errors?
A-05: See {Q,A}-01.
Q-06: (Andrew Morton [22])
Is there a cleaner way of obtaining the fd? Another syscall perhaps.
A-06: Userspace can already trivially retrieve file descriptors from procfs
so this is something that we will need to support anyway. Hence,
there's no immediate need to add another syscalls just to make
pidfd_send_signal() not dependent on the presence of procfs. However,
adding a syscalls to get such file descriptors is planned for a
future patchset (cf. [22]).
Q-07: (Andrew Morton [21] and others)
This fd-for-a-process sounds like a handy thing and people may well
think up other uses for it in the future, probably unrelated to
signals. Are the code and the interface designed to permit such
future applications?
A-07: Yes (cf. [22]).
Q-08: (Andrew Morton [21] and others)
Now I think about it, why a new syscall? This thing is looking
rather like an ioctl?
A-08: This has been extensively discussed. It was agreed that a syscall is
preferred for a variety or reasons. Here are just a few taken from
prior threads. Syscalls are safer than ioctl()s especially when
signaling to fds. Processes are a core kernel concept so a syscall
seems more appropriate. The layout of the syscall with its four
arguments would require the addition of a custom struct for the
ioctl() thereby causing at least the same amount or even more
complexity for userspace than a simple syscall. The new syscall will
replace multiple other pid-based syscalls (see description above).
The file-descriptors-for-processes concept introduced with this
syscall will be extended with other syscalls in the future. See also
[22], [23] and various other threads already linked in here.
Q-09: (Florian Weimer [24])
What happens if you use the new interface with an O_PATH descriptor?
A-09:
pidfds opened as O_PATH fds cannot be used to send signals to a
process (cf. [2]). Signaling processes through pidfds is the
equivalent of writing to a file. Thus, this is not an operation that
operates "purely at the file descriptor level" as required by the
open(2) manpage. See also [4].

In the middle of do_exit() there is there is a call
"ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, code);" That call places the process
in TACKED_TRACED aka "(TASK_WAKEKILL | __TASK_TRACED)" and waits for
for the debugger to release the task or SIGKILL to be delivered.
Skipping past dequeue_signal when we know a fatal signal has already
been delivered resulted in SIGKILL remaining pending and
TIF_SIGPENDING remaining set. This in turn caused the
scheduler to not sleep in PTACE_EVENT_EXIT as it figured
a fatal signal was pending. This also caused ptrace_freeze_traced
in ptrace_check_attach to fail because it left a per thread
SIGKILL pending which is what fatal_signal_pending tests for.
This difference in signal state caused strace to report
strace: Exit of unknown pid NNNNN ignored
Therefore update the signal handling state like dequeue_signal
would when removing a per thread SIGKILL, by removing SIGKILL
from the per thread signal mask and clearing TIF_SIGPENDING.

Recently syzkaller was able to create unkillablle processes by
creating a timer that is delivered as a thread local signal on SIGHUP,
and receiving SIGHUP SA_NODEFERER. Ultimately causing a loop failing
to deliver SIGHUP but always trying.
When the stack overflows delivery of SIGHUP fails and force_sigsegv is
called. Unfortunately because SIGSEGV is numerically higher than
SIGHUP next_signal tries again to deliver a SIGHUP.
From a quality of implementation standpoint attempting to deliver the
timer SIGHUP signal is wrong. We should attempt to deliver the
synchronous SIGSEGV signal we just forced.
We can make that happening in a fairly straight forward manner by
instead of just looking at the signal number we also look at the
si_code. In particular for exceptions (aka synchronous signals) the
si_code is always greater than 0.
That still has the potential to pick up a number of asynchronous
signals as in a few cases the same si_codes that are used
for synchronous signals are also used for asynchronous signals,
and SI_KERNEL is also included in the list of possible si_codes.
Still the heuristic is much better and timer signals are definitely
excluded. Which is enough to prevent all known ways for someone
sending a process signals fast enough to cause unexpected and
arguably incorrect behavior.

and receiving SIGHUP SA_NODEFERER. Ultimately causing a loop
failing to deliver SIGHUP but always trying.
Upon examination it turns out part of the problem is actually most of
the solution. Since 2.5 signal delivery has found all fatal signals,
marked the signal group for death, and queued SIGKILL in every threads
thread queue relying on signal->group_exit_code to preserve the
information of which was the actual fatal signal.
The conversion of all fatal signals to SIGKILL results in the
synchronous signal heuristic in next_signal kicking in and preferring
SIGHUP to SIGKILL. Which is especially problematic as all
fatal signals have already been transformed into SIGKILL.
Instead of dequeueing signals and depending upon SIGKILL to
be the first signal dequeued, first test if the signal group
has already been marked for death. This guarantees that
nothing in the signal queue can prevent a process that needs
to exit from exiting.

A lot of system calls that pass a time_t somewhere have an implementation
using a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() on 64-bit architectures, and have
been reworked so that this implementation can now be used on 32-bit
architectures as well.
The missing step is to redefine them using the regular SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
to get them out of the compat namespace and make it possible to build them
on 32-bit architectures.
Any system call that ends in 'time' gets a '32' suffix on its name for
that version, while the others get a '_time32' suffix, to distinguish
them from the normal version, which takes a 64-bit time argument in the
future.
In this step, only 64-bit architectures are changed, doing this rename
first lets us avoid touching the 32-bit architectures twice.

Since 2.5.34 the code has had the potential to not allocate siginfo
for SIGSTOP signals. Except for ptrace this is perfectly fine as only
ptrace can use PTRACE_PEEK_SIGINFO and see what the contents of
the delivered siginfo are.
Users of PTRACE_PEEK_SIGINFO that care about the contents siginfo
for SIGSTOP are rare, but they do exist. A seccomp self test
has cared and lldb cares.

Everyone affected by this please note. The kernel can still fail to
allocate a siginfo structure. The allocation is with GFP_KERNEL and
is best effort only. If memory is tight when the signal allocation
comes in this will fail to allocate a siginfo.
So I strongly recommend looking at more robust solutions for
synchronizing with a single thread such as PTRACE_INTERRUPT. Or if
that does not work persuading your friendly local kernel developer to
build the interface you need.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Now that 32-bit architectures have two variants of sys_rt_sigtimedwaid()
for 32-bit and 64-bit time_t, we also need to have a second compat system
call entry point on the corresponding 64-bit architectures.
The traditional system call keeps getting handled
by compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait(), and this adds a new
compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time64() that differs only in the timeout
argument type.
The naming remains a bit asymmetric for the moment. Ideally we would
want to have compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time32() for the old version
and compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait() for the new one to mirror the names
of the native entry points, but renaming the existing system call
tables causes unnecessary churn. I would suggest renaming all such
system calls together at a later point.

Once sys_rt_sigtimedwait() gets changed to a 64-bit time_t, we have
to provide compatibility support for existing binaries.
An earlier version of this patch reused the compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait
entry point to avoid code duplication, but this newer approach
duplicates the existing native entry point instead, which seems

the execution and restored after the execution of the syscall.
With the advent of new y2038 syscalls in the subsequent patches,
we add two more new versions of the syscalls (for pselect, ppoll

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"

The bounds checks in known_siginfo_layout only guards against positive
numbers that are too large, large negative can slip through and
can cause out of bounds accesses.
Ordinarily this is not a concern because early in signal processing
the signal number is filtered with valid_signal which ensures it
is a small positive signal number, but copy_siginfo_from_user
is called before this check is performed.

Therefore fix known_siginfo_layout to take an unsigned signal number
instead of a signed signal number. All valid signal numbers are small
positive numbers so they will not be affected, but invalid negative
signal numbers will now become large positive signal numbers and will
not be used as indices into the sig_sicodes array.
Making the signal number unsigned makes it difficult for similar mistakes to
happen in the future.

Looking at the kernel code the historical behavior has alwasy been to prefer
the signal number passed in by the kernel.
So sigh. Implmenet __copy_siginfo_from_user and __copy_siginfo_from_user32 to
take that signal number and prefer it. The user of ptrace will still
use copy_siginfo_from_user and copy_siginfo_from_user32 as they do not and
never have had a signal number there.
Luckily this change has never made it farther than linux-next.

We reserve 128 bytes for struct siginfo but only use about 48 bytes on
64bit and 32 bytes on 32bit. Someday we might use more but it is unlikely
to be anytime soon.
Userspace seems content with just enough bytes of siginfo to implement
sigqueue. Or in the case of checkpoint/restart reinjecting signals
the kernel has sent.
Reducing the stack footprint and the work to copy siginfo around from
2 cachelines to 1 cachelines seems worth doing even if I don't have
benchmarks to show a performance difference.

Linus recently observed that if we did not worry about the padding
member in struct siginfo it is only about 48 bytes, and 48 bytes is
much nicer than 128 bytes for allocating on the stack and copying
around in the kernel.
The obvious thing of only adding the padding when userspace is
including siginfo.h won't work as there are sigframe definitions in
the kernel that embed struct siginfo.
So split siginfo in two; kernel_siginfo and siginfo. Keeping the
traditional name for the userspace definition. While the version that
is used internally to the kernel and ultimately will not be padded to
128 bytes is called kernel_siginfo.
The definition of struct kernel_siginfo I have put in include/signal_types.h
A set of buildtime checks has been added to verify the two structures have
the same field offsets.
To make it easy to verify the change kernel_siginfo retains the same
size as siginfo. The reduction in size comes in a following change.
Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
In preparation for using a smaller version of siginfo in the kernel
introduce copy_siginfo_from_user and use it when siginfo is copied from
userspace.
Make the pattern for using copy_siginfo_from_user and
copy_siginfo_from_user32 to capture the return value and return that
value on error.
This is a necessary prerequisite for using a smaller siginfo
in the kernel than the kernel exports to userspace.

Rework the defintion of struct siginfo so that the array padding
struct siginfo to SI_MAX_SIZE can be placed in a union along side of
the rest of the struct siginfo members. The result is that we no
longer need the __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE or SI_PAD_SIZE definitions.
Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
The kernel needs to validate that the contents of struct siginfo make
sense as siginfo is copied into the kernel, so that the proper union
members can be put in the appropriate locations. The field si_signo
is a fundamental part of that validation. As such changing the
contents of si_signo after the validation make no sense and can result
in nonsense values in the kernel.
As such simply fail if someone is silly enough to set si_signo out of
sync with the signal number passed to sigqueueinfo.
I don't expect a problem as glibc's sigqueue implementation sets
"si_signo = sig" and CRIU just returns to the kernel what the kernel
gave to it.
If there is some application that calls sigqueueinfo directly that has
a problem with this added sanity check we can revisit this when we see
what kind of crazy that application is doing.

The sigaltstack(2) system call fails with -ENOMEM if the new alternative
signal stack is found to be smaller than SIGMINSTKSZ. On architectures
such as arm64, where the native value for SIGMINSTKSZ is larger than
the compat value, this can result in an unexpected error being reported
to a compat task. See, for example:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=904385
This patch fixes the problem by extending do_sigaltstack to take the
minimum signal stack size as an additional parameter, allowing the
native and compat system call entry code to pass in their respective
values. COMPAT_SIGMINSTKSZ is just defined as SIGMINSTKSZ if it has not
been defined by the architecture.

Today kernel threads never dequeue siginfo so it is pointless to

If the first process started (aka /sbin/init) receives a SIGKILL it
will panic the system if it is delivered. Making the system unusable
and undebugable. It isn't much better if the first process started
receives SIGSTOP.
So always ignore SIGSTOP and SIGKILL sent to init.

This changes sys_rt_sigtimedwait() to use get_timespec64(), changing
the timeout type to __kernel_timespec, which will be changed to use
a 64-bit time_t in the future. Since the do_sigtimedwait() core
function changes, we also have to modify the compat version of this
system call in the same way.
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling
backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls:
Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit
architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the
compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense
on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise),
and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit
architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility.
The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved
from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h:
old new
--- ---
compat_time_t old_time32_t
struct compat_timeval struct old_timeval32
struct compat_timespec struct old_timespec32
struct compat_itimerspec struct old_itimerspec32
ns_to_compat_timeval() ns_to_old_timeval32()
get_compat_itimerspec64() get_old_itimerspec32()
put_compat_itimerspec64() put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64() get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64() put_old_timespec32()
As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.
I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.
This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.
