My commit 2b2a1ff64a introduced a regression
(sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0).
This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite.
Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a
parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case).
This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a
"signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).

This moves the ptrace logic in task death (exit_notify) into tracehook.h
inlines. Some code is rearranged slightly to make things nicer. There is
no change, only cleanup.
There is one hook called with the tasklist_lock write-locked, as ptrace
needs. There is also a new hook called after exit_state changes and
without locks. This is a better place for tracing work to be in the
future, since it doesn't delay the whole system with locking.

This moves the ptrace-related logic from release_task into tracehook.h and
ptrace.h inlines. It provides clean hooks both before and after locking
tasklist_lock, for future tracing logic to do more cleanup without the
lock.
This also changes release_task() itself in the rare "zap_leader" case to
set the leader to EXIT_DEAD before iterating. This maintains the
invariant that release_task() only ever handles a task in EXIT_DEAD. This
is a common-sense invariant that is already always true except in this one
arcane case of zombie leader whose parent ignores SIGCHLD.
This change is harmless and only costs one store in this one rare case.
It keeps the expected state more consisently sane, which is nicer when
debugging weirdness in release_task(). It also lets some future code in
the tracehook entry points rely on this invariant for bookkeeping.

Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate

model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times.
As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the top
I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform the
actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be found
in /proc/pid/io.

Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads. It is set

daemonize() was changed as well. In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is

This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler().
Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in

This fixes an arcane bug that we think was a regression introduced
by commit b2b2cbc4b2. When a parent
ignores SIGCHLD (or uses SA_NOCLDWAIT), its children would self-reap
but they don't if it's using ptrace on them. When the parent thread
later exits and ceases to ptrace a child but leaves other live
threads in the parent's thread group, any zombie children are left
dangling. The fix makes them self-reap then, as they would have
done earlier if ptrace had not been in use.

This reverts the effect of commit f2cc3eb133
"do_wait: fix security checks". That change reverted the effect of commit
7324328446. The rationale for the original
commit still stands. The inconsistent treatment of children hidden by
ptrace was an unintended omission in the original change and in no way
invalidates its purpose.
This makes do_wait return the error returned by security_task_wait()
(usually -EACCES) in place of -ECHILD when there are some children the
caller would be able to wait for if not for the permission failure. A
permission error will give the user a clue to look for security policy
problems, rather than for mysterious wait bugs.

ptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the
old ptrace_children list is gone. Now ptrace, whether of one's own
children or another's via PTRACE_ATTACH, just uses the new ptraced
list instead.
There should be no user-visible difference that matters. The only
change is the order in which do_wait() sees multiple stopped
children and stopped ptrace attachees. Since wait_task_stopped()
was changed earlier so it no longer reorders the children list, we
already know this won't cause any new problems.

Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.
This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.
A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.
This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.
I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.
This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.
After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

This is a change that was requested some time ago by Mel Gorman. Makes sense
to me, so here it is.
Note: I retain the name "mpol_free_shared_policy()" because it actually does
free the shared_policy, which is NOT a reference counted object. However, ...
The mempolicy object[s] referenced by the shared_policy are reference counted,
so mpol_put() is used to release the reference held by the shared_policy. The
mempolicy might not be freed at this time, because some task attached to the
shared object associated with the shared policy may be in the process of
allocating a page based on the mempolicy. In that case, the task performing
the allocation will hold a reference on the mempolicy, obtained via
mpol_shared_policy_lookup(). The mempolicy will be freed when all tasks
holding such a reference have called mpol_put() for the mempolicy.

The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.
Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.
More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have

Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process
if the main thread has exited.
However, the new check is not perfect either. There is a window when
exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task(). Suppose that
the last (non-leader) thread exits. This means that entire group exits,
but thread_group_empty() is not true yet.

This modifies do_wait and eligible child to take a pair of enum pid_type

This fixes a bug in sys_waitid where you could not wait for children in

This fixes a pid namespace crossing case in eligible_child. Allowing us to
wait for a processes in our current process group even if our current
process group == 0.
This allows the no child with this pid case to be optimized. This allows
us to optimize the pid membership test in eligible child to be optimized.
This even closes a theoretical pid wraparound race where in a threaded
parent if two threads are waiting for the same child and one thread picks
up the child and the pid numbers wrap around and generate another child
with that same pid before the other thread is scheduled (teribly insanely
unlikely) we could end up waiting on the second child with the same pid#
and not discover that the specific child we were waiting for has exited.

The previous bugfix was not optimal, we shouldn't care about group stop
when we are the only thread or the group stop is in progress. In that case
nothing special is needed, just set PF_EXITING and return.
Also, take the related "TIF_SIGPENDING re-targeting" code from exit_notify().
So, from the performance POV the only difference is that we don't trust
!signal_pending() until we take ->siglock. But this in fact fixes another
___pure___ theoretical minor race. __group_complete_signal() finds the
task without PF_EXITING and chooses it as the target for signal_wake_up().
But nothing prevents this task from exiting in between without noticing the
pending signal and thus unpredictably delaying the actual delivery.

do_signal_stop() counts all sub-thread and sets ->group_stop_count
accordingly. Every thread should decrement ->group_stop_count and stop,
the last one should notify the parent.
However a sub-thread can exit before it notices the signal_pending(), or it
may be somewhere in do_exit() already. In that case the group stop never
finishes properly.
Note: this is a minimal fix, we can add some optimizations later. Say we
can return quickly if thread_group_empty(). Also, we can move some signal

space. This again speedups and imho cleanups the code, also a preparation for
the next patch.

The first "p->exit_state != EXIT_ZOMBIE" check doesn't make too much sense.
The exit_state was EXIT_ZOMBIE when the function was called, and another
thread can change it to EXIT_DEAD right after the check.
The second condition is not possible, detached non-traced threads were already
filtered out by eligible_child(), we didn't drop tasklist since then.

Surprise, the other two wait_task_*() functions also abuse the
task_pid_nr_ns() function, and may cause read-after-free or report nr == 0
in wait_task_continued(). wait_task_zombie() doesn't have this problem,
but it is still better to cache pid_t rather than call task_pid_nr_ns()
three times on the saved pid_namespace.

Imho, the current usage of security_task_wait() is not logical.
Suppose we have the single child p, and security_task_wait(p) return
-EANY. In that case waitpid(-1) returns this error. Why? Isn't it
better to return ECHLD? We don't really have reapable children.
Now suppose that child was stolen by gdb. In that case we find this
child on ->ptrace_children and set flag = 1, but we don't check that the
child was denied. So, do_wait(..., WNOHANG) returns 0, this doesn't
match the behaviour above. Without WNOHANG do_wait() blocks only to
return the error later, when the child will be untraced. Inho, really
strange.
I think eligible_child() should return the error only if the child's pid
was requested explicitly, otherwise we should silently ignore the tasks
which were nacked by security_task_wait().

eligible_child() == 2 means delay_group_leader(). With the previous patch
this only matters for EXIT_ZOMBIE task, we can move that special check to
the only place it is really needed.
Also, with this patch we don't skip security_task_wait() for the group
leaders in a non-empty thread group. I don't really understand the exact
semantics of security_task_wait(), but imho this change is a bugfix.
Also rearrange the code a bit to kill an ugly "check_continued" backdoor.

wait_task_stopped() doesn't need the "delay_group_leader" parameter. If
the child is not traced it must be a group leader. With or without
subthreads ->group_stop_count == 0 when the whole task is stopped.
