Merge tag 'pidfd-updates-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds two main features.

   - First, it adds polling support for pidfds. This allows process
     managers to know when a (non-parent) process dies in a race-free
     way.

     The notification mechanism used follows the same logic that is
     currently used when the parent of a task is notified of a child's
     death. With this patchset it is possible to put pidfds in an
     {e}poll loop and get reliable notifications for process (i.e.
     thread-group) exit.

   - The second feature compliments the first one by making it possible
     to retrieve pollable pidfds for processes that were not created
     using CLONE_PIDFD.

     A lot of processes get created with traditional PID-based calls
     such as fork() or clone() (without CLONE_PIDFD). For these
     processes a caller can currently not create a pollable pidfd. This
     is a problem for Android's low memory killer (LMK) and service
     managers such as systemd.

  Both patchsets are accompanied by selftests.

  It's perhaps worth noting that the work done so far and the work done
  in this branch for pidfd_open() and polling support do already see
  some adoption:

   - Android is in the process of backporting this work to all their LTS
     kernels [1]

   - Service managers make use of pidfd_send_signal but will need to
     wait until we enable waiting on pidfds for full adoption.

   - And projects I maintain make use of both pidfd_send_signal and
     CLONE_PIDFD [2] and will use polling support and pidfd_open() too"
