- User events are finally ready!
After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked
down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user
space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user
space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this
patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if
something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell
the kernel about these events, which will show up in the
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be
enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell
the application to start writing to the kernel.
See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/
- Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but

can register their own trampoline for performance reasons.
- Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than
kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on
ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed
as dynamic events.
- More updates to references to the obsolete path of
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.
- Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line
by line instead of all at once. There's users in production kernels that
have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the
data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print.
Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.
- Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that
was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for
debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by
a bpf program or live patching.

Merge tag 'v6.4/pidfd.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds a new pidfd_prepare() helper which allows the caller to
reserve a pidfd number and allocates a new pidfd file that stashes the
provided struct pid.
It should be avoided installing a file descriptor into a task's file
descriptor table just to close it again via close_fd() in case an
error occurs. The fd has been visible to userspace and might already
be in use. Instead, a file descriptor should be reserved but not
installed into the caller's file descriptor table.
If another failure path is hit then the reserved file descriptor and
file can just be put without any userspace visible side-effects. And
if all failure paths are cleared the file descriptor and file can be
installed into the task's file descriptor table.
This helper is now used in all places that open coded this
functionality before. For example, this is currently done during
copy_process() and fanotify used pidfd_create(), which returns a pidfd
that has already been made visibile in the caller's file descriptor
table, but then closed it using close_fd().
In one of the next merge windows there is also new functionality
coming to unix domain sockets that will have to rely on
pidfd_prepare()"

Merge tag 'v6.4/kernel.user_worker' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull user work thread updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work generalizing the ability to create a kernel
worker from a userspace process.
Such user workers will run with the same credentials as the userspace
process they were created from providing stronger security and
accounting guarantees than the traditional override_creds() approach
ever could've hoped for.
The original work was heavily based and optimzed for the needs of
io_uring which was the first user. However, as it quickly turned out
the ability to create user workers inherting properties from a
userspace process is generally useful.
The vhost subsystem currently creates workers using the kthread api.
The consequences of using the kthread api are that RLIMITs don't work
correctly as they are inherited from khtreadd. This leads to bugs
where more workers are created than would be allowed by the RLIMITs of
the userspace process in lieu of which workers are created.
Problems like this disappear with user workers created from the
userspace processes for which they perform the work. In addition,
providing this api allows vhost to remove additional complexity. For
example, cgroup and mm sharing will just work out of the box with user
workers based on the relevant userspace process instead of manually
ensuring the correct cgroup and mm contexts are used.
So the vhost subsystem should simply be made to use the same mechanism
as io_uring. To this end the original mechanism used for
create_io_thread() is generalized into user workers:
- Introduce PF_USER_WORKER as a generic indicator that a given task
is a user worker, i.e., a kernel task that was created from a
userspace process. Now a PF_IO_WORKER thread is just a specialized
version of PF_USER_WORKER. So io_uring io workers raise both flags.
- Make copy_process() available to core kernel code
- Extend struct kernel_clone_args with the following bitfields
allowing to indicate to copy_process():
- to create a user worker (raise PF_USER_WORKER)
- to not inherit any files from the userspace process
- to ignore signals
After all generic changes are in place the vhost subsystem implements
a new dedicated vhost api based on user workers. Finally, vhost is
switched to rely on the new api moving it off of kthreads.
Thanks to Mike for sticking it out and making it through this rather
arduous journey"

Introduce per-mm/cpu current concurrency id (mm_cid) to fix a PostgreSQL
sysbench regression reported by Aaron Lu.
Keep track of the currently allocated mm_cid for each mm/cpu rather than
freeing them immediately on context switch. This eliminates most atomic
operations when context switching back and forth between threads
belonging to different memory spaces in multi-threaded scenarios (many
processes, each with many threads). The per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid values are
serialized by their respective runqueue locks.
Thread migration is handled by introducing invocation to
sched_mm_cid_migrate_to() (with destination runqueue lock held) in
activate_task() for migrating tasks. If the destination cpu's mm_cid is
unset, and if the source runqueue is not actively using its mm_cid, then
the source cpu's mm_cid is moved to the destination cpu on migration.
Introduce a task-work executed periodically, similarly to NUMA work,
which delays reclaim of cid values when they are unused for a period of
time.
Keep track of the allocation time for each per-cpu cid, and let the task
work clear them when they are observed to be older than
SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS and unused. This task work also clears all
mm_cids which are greater or equal to the Hamming weight of the mm
cidmask to keep concurrency ids compact.
Because we want to ensure the mm_cid converges towards the smaller
values as migrations happen, the prior optimization that was done when
context switching between threads belonging to the same mm is removed,
because it could delay the lazy release of the destination runqueue
mm_cid after it has been replaced by a migration. Removing this prior
optimization is not an issue performance-wise because the introduced
per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid tracking also covers this more specific case.

commit f1a7941243 ("mm: convert mm's rss stats into percpu_counter")
introduces a memory leak by missing a call to destroy_context() when a
percpu_counter fails to allocate.
Before introducing the per-cpu counter allocations, init_new_context() was
the last call that could fail in mm_init(), and thus there was no need to
ever invoke destroy_context() in the error paths. Adding the following
percpu counter allocations adds error paths after init_new_context(),
which means its associated destroy_context() needs to be called when
percpu counters fail to allocate.

Pach series "sched/numa: Enhance vma scanning", v3.
The patchset proposes one of the enhancements to numa vma scanning
suggested by Mel. This is continuation of [3].
Reposting the rebased patchset to akpm mm-unstable tree (March 1)
Existing mechanism of scan period involves, scan period derived from
per-thread stats. Process Adaptive autoNUMA [1] proposed to gather NUMA
fault stats at per-process level to capture aplication behaviour better.
During that course of discussion, Mel proposed several ideas to enhance
current numa balancing. One of the suggestion was below
Track what threads access a VMA. The suggestion was to use an unsigned
long pid_mask and use the lower bits to tag approximately what threads
access a VMA. Skip VMAs that did not trap a fault. This would be
approximate because of PID collisions but would reduce scanning of areas
the thread is not interested in. The above suggestion intends not to
penalize threads that has no interest in the vma, thus reduce scanning
overhead.
V3 changes are mostly based on PeterZ comments (details below in changes)
Summary of patchset:
Current patchset implements:
1. Delay the vma scanning logic for newly created VMA's so that
additional overhead of scanning is not incurred for short lived tasks
(implementation by Mel)
2. Store the information of tasks accessing VMA in 2 windows. It is
regularly cleared in (4*sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay) interval.
The above time is derived from experimenting (Suggested by PeterZ) to
balance between frequent clearing vs obsolete access data
3. hash_32 used to encode task index accessing VMA information
4. VMA's acess information is used to skip scanning for the tasks
which had not accessed VMA
Changes since V2:
patch1:
- Renaming of structure, macro to function,
- Add explanation to heuristics
- Adding more details from result (PeterZ)
Patch2:
- Usage of test and set bit (PeterZ)
- Move storing access PID info to numa_migrate_prep()
- Add a note on fainess among tasks allowed to scan
(PeterZ)
Patch3:
- Maintain two windows of access PID information
(PeterZ supported implementation and Gave idea to extend
to N if needed)
Patch4:
- Apply hash_32 function to track VMA accessing PIDs (PeterZ)
Changes since RFC V1:
- Include Mel's vma scan delay patch
- Change the accessing pid store logic (Thanks Mel)
- Fencing structure / code to NUMA_BALANCING (David, Mel)
- Adding clearing access PID logic (Mel)
- Descriptive change log ( Mike Rapoport)
Things to ponder over:
==========================================
- Improvement to clearing accessing PIDs logic (discussed in-detail in
patch3 itself (Done in this patchset by implementing 2 window history)
- Current scan period is not changed in the patchset, so we do see
frequent tries to scan. Relaxing scan period dynamically could improve
results further.

vma->lock being part of the vm_area_struct causes performance regression
during page faults because during contention its count and owner fields
are constantly updated and having other parts of vm_area_struct used
during page fault handling next to them causes constant cache line
bouncing. Fix that by moving the lock outside of the vm_area_struct.
All attempts to keep vma->lock inside vm_area_struct in a separate cache
line still produce performance regression especially on NUMA machines.
Smallest regression was achieved when lock is placed in the fourth cache
line but that bloats vm_area_struct to 256 bytes.
Considering performance and memory impact, separate lock looks like the
best option. It increases memory footprint of each VMA but that can be
optimized later if the new size causes issues. Note that after this
change vma_init() does not allocate or initialize vma->lock anymore. A
number of drivers allocate a pseudo VMA on the stack but they never use
the VMA's lock, therefore it does not need to be allocated. The future
drivers which might need the VMA lock should use
vm_area_alloc()/vm_area_free() to allocate the VMA.

call_rcu() can take a long time when callback offloading is enabled. Its
use in the vm_area_free can cause regressions in the exit path when
multiple VMAs are being freed.
Because exit_mmap() is called only after the last mm user drops its
refcount, the page fault handlers can't be racing with it. Any other
possible user like oom-reaper or process_mrelease are already synchronized
using mmap_lock. Therefore exit_mmap() can free VMAs directly, without
the use of call_rcu().
Expose __vm_area_free() and use it from exit_mmap() to avoid possible
call_rcu() floods and performance regressions caused by it.

Introduce per-VMA locking. The lock implementation relies on a per-vma
and per-mm sequence counters to note exclusive locking:
- read lock - (implemented by vma_start_read) requires the vma
(vm_lock_seq) and mm (mm_lock_seq) sequence counters to differ.
If they match then there must be a vma exclusive lock held somewhere.
- read unlock - (implemented by vma_end_read) is a trivial vma->lock
unlock.
- write lock - (vma_start_write) requires the mmap_lock to be held
exclusively and the current mm counter is assigned to the vma counter.
This will allow multiple vmas to be locked under a single mmap_lock
write lock (e.g. during vma merging). The vma counter is modified
under exclusive vma lock.
- write unlock - (vma_end_write_all) is a batch release of all vma
locks held. It doesn't pair with a specific vma_start_write! It is
done before exclusive mmap_lock is released by incrementing mm
sequence counter (mm_lock_seq).
- write downgrade - if the mmap_lock is downgraded to the read lock, all
vma write locks are released as well (effectivelly same as write
unlock).

Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking.
The maple tree tracks the stack and is able to update the pivot
(lower/upper boundary) in-place to allow the page fault handler to write
to the tree while holding just the mmap read lock. This is safe as the
writes to the stack have a guard VMA which ensures there will always be a
NULL in the direction of the growth and thus will only update a pivot.
It is possible, but not recommended, to have VMAs that grow up/down
without guard VMAs. syzbot has constructed a testcase which sets up a VMA
to grow and consume the empty space. Overwriting the entire NULL entry
causes the tree to be altered in a way that is not safe for concurrent
readers; the readers may see a node being rewritten or one that does not
match the maple state they are using.
Enabling RCU mode allows the concurrent readers to see a stable node and
will return the expected result.

On big systems, the mm refcount can become highly contented when doing a
lot of context switching with threaded applications. user<->idle switch
is one of the important cases. Abandoning lazy tlb entirely slows this
switching down quite a bit in the common uncontended case, so that is not
viable.
Implement a scheme where lazy tlb mm references do not contribute to the
refcount, instead they get explicitly removed when the refcount reaches
zero.
The final mmdrop() sends IPIs to all CPUs in the mm_cpumask and they
switch away from this mm to init_mm if it was being used as the lazy tlb
mm. Enabling the shoot lazies option therefore requires that the arch
ensures that mm_cpumask contains all CPUs that could possibly be using mm.
A DEBUG_VM option IPIs every CPU in the system after this to ensure there
are no references remaining before the mm is freed.
Shootdown IPIs cost could be an issue, but they have not been observed to
be a serious problem with this scheme, because short-lived processes tend
not to migrate CPUs much, therefore they don't get much chance to leave
lazy tlb mm references on remote CPUs. There are a lot of options to
reduce them if necessary, described in comments.
The near-worst-case can be benchmarked with will-it-scale:
context_switch1_threads -t $(($(nproc) / 2))
This will create nproc threads (nproc / 2 switching pairs) all sharing the
same mm that spread over all CPUs so each CPU does thread->idle->thread
switching.
[ Rik came up with basically the same idea a few years ago, so credit
to him for that. ]

"We discovered a filesystem summary counter corruption problem that was
traced to cpu hot-remove racing with the call to percpu_counter_sum
that sets the free block count in the superblock when writing it to

dying cpus and hence misses those counter values if the cpu shutdown
hooks have not yet run to merge the values.
I'm hoping this is a fairly painless fix to the problem, since the
dying cpu mask should generally be empty. It's been in for-next for a
week without any complaints from the bots.

Each vhost device gets a thread that is used to perform IO and management
operations. Instead of a thread that is accessing a device, the thread is
part of the device, so when it creates a thread using a helper based on
copy_process we can't dup or clone the parent's files/FDS because it
would do an extra increment on ourself.
Later, when we do:
Qemu process exits:
do_exit -> exit_files -> put_files_struct -> close_files
we would leak the device's resources because of that extra refcount
on the fd or file_struct.
This patch adds a no_files option so these worker threads can prevent
taking an extra refcount on themselves.

Currently, calling clone3() with CLONE_NEWTIME in clone_args->flags
fails with -EINVAL. This is because CLONE_NEWTIME intersects with
CSIGNAL. However, CSIGNAL was deprecated when clone3 was introduced in
commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add clone3"), allowing re-use of that part
of clone flags.
Fix this by explicitly allowing CLONE_NEWTIME in clone3_args_valid. This
is also in line with the respective check in check_unshare_flags which
allow CLONE_NEWTIME for unshare().

Patch series "introduce vm_flags modifier functions", v4.
This patchset was originally published as a part of per-VMA locking [1]
and was split after suggestion that it's viable on its own and to
facilitate the review process. It is now a preprequisite for the next
version of per-VMA lock patchset, which reuses vm_flags modifier functions
to lock the VMA when vm_flags are being updated.
VMA vm_flags modifications are usually done under exclusive mmap_lock
protection because this attrubute affects other decisions like VMA merging
or splitting and races should be prevented. Introduce vm_flags modifier
functions to enforce correct locking.
This patch (of 7):
Convert vma assignment in vm_area_dup() to a memcpy() to prevent compiler
errors when we add a const modifier to vma->vm_flags.

This feature allows the scheduler to expose a per-memory map concurrency
ID to user-space. This concurrency ID is within the possible cpus range,
and is temporarily (and uniquely) assigned while threads are actively
running within a memory map. If a memory map has fewer threads than
cores, or is limited to run on few cores concurrently through sched
affinity or cgroup cpusets, the concurrency IDs will be values close
to 0, thus allowing efficient use of user-space memory for per-cpu
data structures.
This feature is meant to be exposed by a new rseq thread area field.
The primary purpose of this feature is to do the heavy-lifting needed
by memory allocators to allow them to use per-cpu data structures
efficiently in the following situations:
- Single-threaded applications,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with limited
cpu affinity mask,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with
restricted cgroup cpuset per container.
One of the key concern from scheduler maintainers is the overhead
associated with additional spin locks or atomic operations in the
scheduler fast-path. This is why the following optimization is
implemented.
On context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map,
transfer the mm_cid from prev to next without any atomic ops. This
takes care of use-cases involving frequent context switch between
threads belonging to the same memory map.
Additional optimizations can be done if the spin locks added when
context switching between threads belonging to different memory maps end
up being a performance bottleneck. Those are left out of this patch
though. A performance impact would have to be clearly demonstrated to
justify the added complexity.
The credit goes to Paul Turner (Google) for the original virtual cpu id
idea. This feature is implemented based on the discussions with Paul
Turner and Peter Oskolkov (Google), but I took the liberty to implement
scheduler fast-path optimizations and my own NUMA-awareness scheme. The
rumor has it that Google have been running a rseq vcpu_id extension
internally in production for a year. The tcmalloc source code indeed has
comments hinting at a vcpu_id prototype extension to the rseq system
call [1].
The following benchmarks do not show any significant overhead added to
the scheduler context switch by this feature:
* perf bench sched messaging (process)
Baseline: 86.5±0.3 ms
With mm_cid: 86.7±2.6 ms
* perf bench sched messaging (threaded)
Baseline: 84.3±3.0 ms
With mm_cid: 84.7±2.6 ms
* hackbench (process)
Baseline: 82.9±2.7 ms
With mm_cid: 82.9±2.9 ms
* hackbench (threaded)
Baseline: 85.2±2.6 ms
With mm_cid: 84.4±2.9 ms

Instead of duplicating init_mm, allocate a fresh mm. The advantage is
that mm_alloc() has much simpler dependencies. Additionally it makes
more conceptual sense, init_mm has no (and must not have) user state
to duplicate.

Merge tag 'random-6.2-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random
Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
- Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
interval:
get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]
Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
improvements throughout the tree.
I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
second week.
This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.
- More consistent use of get_random_canary().
- Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
simplification in configuration.
- The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
in all relevant contexts.
- The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
prevent accidental leakage.
These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.
- Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
replacing an sleep loop wart.
- The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
going through helpers better suited for other cases.
- The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.
But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
without the absent latent entropy variable.
- The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).
- The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
cause latencies.

The percpu_counter is used for scenarios where performance is more
important than the accuracy. For percpu_counter users, who want more
accurate information in their slowpath, percpu_counter_sum is provided
which traverses all the online CPUs to accumulate the data. The reason it
only needs to traverse online CPUs is because percpu_counter does
implement CPU offline callback which syncs the local data of the offlined
CPU.
However there is a small race window between the online CPUs traversal of
percpu_counter_sum and the CPU offline callback. The offline callback has
to traverse all the percpu_counters on the system to flush the CPU local
data which can be a lot. During that time, the CPU which is going offline
has already been published as offline to all the readers. So, as the
offline callback is running, percpu_counter_sum can be called for one
counter which has some state on the CPU going offline. Since
percpu_counter_sum only traverses online CPUs, it will skip that specific
CPU and the offline callback might not have flushed the state for that
specific percpu_counter on that offlined CPU.
Normally this is not an issue because percpu_counter users can deal with
some inaccuracy for small time window. However a new user i.e. mm_struct
on the cleanup path wants to check the exact state of the percpu_counter
through check_mm(). For such users, this patch introduces
percpu_counter_sum_all() which traverses all possible CPUs and it is used
in fork.c:check_mm() to avoid the potential race.
This issue is exposed by the later patch "mm: convert mm's rss stats into
percpu_counter".

Currently mm_struct maintains rss_stats which are updated on page fault
and the unmapping codepaths. For page fault codepath the updates are
cached per thread with the batch of TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH which is 64.
The reason for caching is performance for multithreaded applications
otherwise the rss_stats updates may become hotspot for such applications.
However this optimization comes with the cost of error margin in the rss
stats. The rss_stats for applications with large number of threads can be
very skewed. At worst the error margin is (nr_threads * 64) and we have a
lot of applications with 100s of threads, so the error margin can be very
high. Internally we had to reduce TASK_RSS_EVENTS_THRESH to 32.
Recently we started seeing the unbounded errors for rss_stats for specific
applications which use TCP rx0cp. It seems like vm_insert_pages()
codepath does not sync rss_stats at all.
This patch converts the rss_stats into percpu_counter to convert the error
margin from (nr_threads * 64) to approximately (nr_cpus ^ 2). However
this conversion enable us to get the accurate stats for situations where
accuracy is more important than the cpu cost.
This patch does not make such tradeoffs - we can just use
percpu_counter_add_local() for the updates and percpu_counter_sum() (or
percpu_counter_sync() + percpu_counter_read) for the readers. At the
moment the readers are either procfs interface, oom_killer and memory
reclaim which I think are not performance critical and should be ok with
slow read. However I think we can make that change in a separate patch.

This has nothing to do with random.c and everything to do with stack
protectors. Yes, it uses randomness. But many things use randomness.
random.h and random.c are concerned with the generation of randomness,
not with each and every use. So move this function into the more
specific stackprotector.h file where it belongs.

Changing a time namespace requires remapping a vvar page, so we don't want
to allow doing that if any other tasks can use the same mm.
Currently, we install a time namespace when a task is created with a new
vm. exec() is another case when a task gets a new mm and so it can switch
a time namespace safely, but it isn't handled now.
One more issue of the current interface is that clone() with CLONE_VM isn't
allowed if the current task has unshared a time namespace
(timens_for_children doesn't match the current timens).
Both these issues make some inconvenience for users. For example, Alexey
and Florian reported that posix_spawn() uses vfork+exec and this pattern
doesn't work with time namespaces due to the both described issues.
LXC needed to workaround the exec() issue by calling setns.
In the commit 133e2d3e81 ("fs/exec: allow to unshare a time namespace on
vfork+exec"), we tried to fix these issues with minimal impact on UAPI. But
it adds extra complexity and some undesirable side effects. Eric suggested
fixing the issues properly because here are all the reasons to suppose that
there are no users that depend on the old behavior.
