80fe728d59 signals: allow the kernel to actually kill /sbin/init
Currently the buggy /sbin/init hangs if SIGSEGV/etc happens.  The kernel sends
the signal, init dequeues it and ignores, returns from the exception, repeats
the faulting instruction, and so on forever.

Imho, such a behaviour is not good.  I think that the explicit loud death of
the buggy /sbin/init is better than the silent hang.

Change force_sig_info() to clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE when the task should be
really killed.

7a5e873f09 signals: de_thread: simplify the ->child_reaper switching
Now that we rely on SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag, de_thread() doesn't need the nasty
hack to kill the old ->child_reaper during the mt-exec.

This also means we can avoid taking tasklist_lock around zap_other_threads().

fae5fa44f1 signals: fix /sbin/init protection from unwanted signals
The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal
signals.

	- The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver()
	  protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal
	  signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread.
	  If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not
	  right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader),
	  this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have.

	- Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
	  on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this
	  is just wrong.

Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems.  It also helps
to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches.

Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used
by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits.

2e2ba22ea4 signals: check_kill_permission: check session under tasklist_lock
This wasn't documented, but as Atsushi Tsuji pointed out
check_kill_permission() needs tasklist_lock for task_session_nr().  I missed
this fact when removed tasklist from the callers.

Change check_kill_permission() to take tasklist_lock for the SIGCONT case.
Re-order security checks so that we take tasklist_lock only if/when it is
actually needed.  This is a minimal fix for now, tasklist will be removed
later.

Also change the code to use task_session() instead of task_session_nr().

Also, remove the SIGCONT check from cap_task_kill(), it is bogus (and the
whole function is bogus.  Serge, Eric, why it is still alive?).

7e695a5ef5 signals: fold sig_ignored() into handle_stop_signal()
Rename handle_stop_signal() to prepare_signal(), make it return a boolean, and
move the callsites of sig_ignored() into it.

No functional changes for now.  But it would be nice to factor out the "should
we drop this signal" checks as much as possible, before we try to fix the bugs
with the sub-namespace init's signals (actually the global /sbin/init has some
problems with signals too).

34c8f07b9a signals: handle_stop_signal: don't worry about SIGKILL
handle_stop_signal() clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED when sig == SIGKILL.  Remove
this nasty special case.  It was needed to prevent the race with group stop
and exit caused by thread-specific SIGKILL.  Now that we use complete_signal()
for private signals too this is not needed, complete_signal() will notice
SIGKILL and abort the soon-to-begin group stop.

Except: the target thread is dead (has PF_EXITING).  But in that case we
should not just clear SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED and nothing more.  We should either
kill the whole thread group, or silently ignore the signal.

I suspect we are not right wrt zombie leaders, but this is another issue which
and should be fixed separately.  Note that this check can't abort the group
stop if it was already started/finished, this check only adds a subtle side
effect if we race with the thread which has already dequeued sig_kernel_stop()
signal and temporary released ->siglock.

Suggested by Pavel Emelyanov.

send_sigqueue/send_group_sigqueue are only differ in how they lock ->siglock.
Unify them.  send_group_sigqueue() uses spin_lock() because it knows the task
can't exit, but in that case lock_task_sighand() can't fail and doesn't hurt.

Note that the "sig" argument is ignored, it is always equal to ->si_signo.

5fcd835bf8 signals: use __group_complete_signal() for the specific signals too
Based on Pavel Emelyanov's suggestion.

Rename __group_complete_signal() to complete_signal() and use it to process
the specific signals too.  To do this we simply add the "int group" argument.

This allows us to greatly simply the signal-sending code and adds a useful
behaviour change.  We can avoid the unneeded wakeups for the private signals
because wants_signal() is more clever than sigismember(blocked), but more
importantly we now take into account the fatal specific signals too.

The latter allows us to kill some subtle checks in handle_stop_signal() and
makes the specific/group signal's behaviour more consistent.  For example,
currently sigtimedwait(FATAL_SIGNAL) behaves differently depending on was the
signal sent by kill() or tkill() if the signal was not blocked.

And.  This allows us to tweak/fix the behaviour when the specific signal is
sent to the dying/dead ->group_leader.

08d2c30ce9 signals: send_sig_info: don't take tasklist_lock
The comment in send_sig_info() is wrong, tasklist_lock can't help.

The caller must ensure the task can't go away, otherwise ->sighand can be NULL
even before we take the lock.

p->sighand could be changed by exec(), but I can't imagine how it is possible
to prevent exit(), but not exec().

Since the things seem to work, I assume all callers are correct.  However,
drm_vbl_send_signals() looks broken.  block_all_signals() which is solely used
by drm is definitely broken.

6e65acba7c signals: move handle_stop_signal() into send_signal()
Move handle_stop_signal() into send_signal().  This factors out a couple of
callsites and allows us to do further unifications.

Also, with this change specific_send_sig_info() does handle_stop_signal().
Not that this is really important, we never send STOP/CONT via send_sig() and
friends, but still this looks more consistent.

The only (afaics) special case is get_signal_to_deliver().  If the traced task
dequeues SIGCONT, it can re-send it to itself after ptrace_stop() if the
signal was blocked by debugger.  In that case handle_stop_signal() is
unnecessary, but hopefully not a problem.

e442055193 signals: re-assign CLD_CONTINUED notification from the sender to reciever
Based on discussion with Jiri and Roland.

In short: currently handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT, p) sends the notification to
p->parent, with this patch p itself notifies its parent when it becomes
running.

handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT) has to drop ->siglock temporary in order to notify
the parent with do_notify_parent_cldstop().  This leads to multiple problems:

	- as Jiri Kosina pointed out, the stopped task can resume without
	  actually seeing SIGCONT which may have a handler.

	- we race with another sig_kernel_stop() signal which may come in
	  that window.

	- we race with sig_fatal() signals which may set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
	  in that window.

	- we can't avoid taking tasklist_lock() while sending SIGCONT.

With this patch handle_stop_signal() just sets the new SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED
flag in p->signal->flags and returns.  The notification is sent by the first
task which returns from finish_stop() (there should be at least one) or any
other signalled thread from get_signal_to_deliver().

This is a user-visible change.  Say, currently kill(SIGCONT, stopped_child)
can't return without seeing SIGCHLD, with this patch SIGCHLD can be delayed
unpredictably.  Another difference is that if the child is ptraced by another
process, CLD_CONTINUED may be delivered to ->real_parent after ptrace_detach()
while currently it always goes to the tracer which doesn't actually need this
notification.  Hopefully not a problem.

The patch asks for the futher obvious cleanups, I'll send them separately.

3b5e9e53c6 signals: cleanup security_task_kill() usage/implementation
Every implementation of ->task_kill() does nothing when the signal comes from
the kernel.  This is correct, but means that check_kill_permission() should
call security_task_kill() only for SI_FROMUSER() case, and we can remove the
same check from ->task_kill() implementations.

(sadly, check_kill_permission() is the last user of signal->session/__session
 but we can't s/task_session_nr/task_session/ here).

NOTE: Eric W.  Biederman pointed out cap_task_kill() should die, and I think
he is very right.

9e3bd6c3fb signals: consolidate send_sigqueue and send_group_sigqueue
Both functions do the same thing after proper locking, but with
different sigpending structs, so move the common code into a helper.

After this we have 4 places that look very similar: send_sigqueue: calls
do_send_sigqueue and signal_wakeup send_group_sigqueue: calls
do_send_sigqueue and __group_complete_signal __group_send_sig_info:
calls send_signal and __group_complete_signal specific_send_sig_info:
calls send_signal and signal_wakeup

Besides, send_signal performs actions similar to do_send_sigqueue's
and __group_complete_signal - to signal_wakeup.

It looks like they can be consolidated gracefully.

Oleg said:

  Personally, I think this change is very good.  But send_sigqueue() and
  send_group_sigqueue() have a very subtle difference which I was never able
  to understand.

  Let's suppose that sigqueue is already queued, and the signal is ignored
  (the latter means we should re-schedule cpu timer or handle overrruns).  In
  that case send_sigqueue() returns 0, but send_group_sigqueue() returns 1.

  I think this is not the problem (in fact, I think this patch makes the
  behaviour more correct), but I hope Thomas can take a look and confirm.

Besides, after recalc_sigpending() two checks for signr to be not 0 may be
merged into one.  Both if-s become easier to read.

Thanks to Oleg for pointing out mistakes in the first version of this patch.

93585eeaf3 signals: consolidate checks for whether or not to ignore a signal
Both sig_ignored() and do_sigaction() check for signr to be explicitly or
implicitly ignored.  Introduce a helper for them.

This patch is aimed to help handling signals by pid namespace's init, and was
derived from one of Oleg's patches
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2007-December/009308.html
so, if he doesn't mind, he should be considered as an author.

06fffb1267 do_task_stat: don't take rcu_read_lock()
lock_task_sighand() was changed, and do_task_stat() doesn't need
rcu_read_lock any longer.  sighand->siglock protects all "interesting"
fields.

Except: it doesn't protect ->tty->pgrp, but neither does rcu_read_lock(), this
should be fixed.

bfc4b0890a signals: do_group_exit(): use signal_group_exit() more consistently
do_group_exit() checks SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT to avoid taking sighand->siglock.
Since ed5d2cac11 exec() doesn't set this
flag, we should use signal_group_exit().

This is not needed for correctness, but can speedup the multithreaded exec
and makes the code more consistent.

573cf9ad72 signals: do_signal_stop(): use signal_group_exit()
do_signal_stop() needs signal_group_exit() but checks sig->group_exit_task.
 This (optimization) is correct, SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED and SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
are mutually exclusive, but looks confusing.  Use signal_group_exit(), this
is not fastpath, the code clarity is more important.

2acb024d55 signals: consolidate checking for ignored/legacy signals
Two callers for send_signal() - the specific_send_sig_info and the
__group_send_sig_info - both check for sig to be ignored or already queued.

Move these checks into send_signal() and make it return 1 to indicate that the
signal is dropped, but there's no error in this.

Besides, merge comments and spell-check them.

2deb1acc65 isofs: fix access to unallocated memory when reading corrupted filesystem
When a directory on isofs is corrupted, we did not check whether length of the
name in a directory entry and the length of the directory entry itself are
consistent.  This could lead to possible access beyond the end of buffer when
the length of the name was too big.  Add this sanity check to directory
reading code.

6bfe0b4990 md: support blocking writes to an array on device failure
Allows a userspace metadata handler to take action upon detecting a device
failure.

Based on an original patch by Neil Brown.

Changes:
-added blocked_wait waitqueue to rdev
-don't qualify Blocked with Faulty always let userspace block writes
-added md_wait_for_blocked_rdev to wait for the block device to be clear, if
 userspace misses the notification another one is sent every 5 seconds
-set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED after clearing "blocked"
-kill DoBlock flag, just test mddev->external

648b629ed4 md: fix up switching md arrays between read-only and read-write
When setting an array to 'readonly' or to 'active' via sysfs, we must make the
appropriate set_disk_ro call too.

Also when switching to "read_auto" (which is like readonly, but blocks on the
first write so that metadata can be marked 'dirty') we need to be more careful
about what state we are changing from.

31a59e3425 md: fix 'safemode' handling for external metadata.
'safemode' relates to marking an array as 'clean' if there has been no write
traffic for a while (a couple of seconds), to reduce the chance of the array
being found dirty on reboot.

->safemode is set to '1' when there have been no write for a while, and it
gets set to '0' when the superblock is updates with the 'clean' flag set.

This requires a few fixes for 'external' metadata:
 - When an array is set to 'clean' via sysfs, 'safemode' must be cleared.
 - when we write to an array that has 'safemode' set (there must have been
        some delay in updating the metadata), we need to clear safemode.
 - Don't try to update external metadata in md_check_recovery for safemode
        transitions - it won't work.

Also, don't try to support "immediate safe mode" (safemode==2) for external
metadata, it cannot really work (the safemode timeout can be set very low if
this is really needed).

Also initialise the 'level' of a new array to LEVEL_NONE (which isn't 0).
