Al Viro 3b1253880b [PATCH] sanitize unshare_files/reset_files_struct
* let unshare_files() give caller the displaced files_struct
* don't bother with grabbing reference only to drop it in the
  caller if it hadn't been shared in the first place
* in that form unshare_files() is trivially implemented via
  unshare_fd(), so we eliminate the duplicate logics in fork.c
* reset_files_struct() is not just only called for current;
  it will break the system if somebody ever calls it for anything
  else (we can't modify ->files of somebody else).  Lose the
  task_struct * argument.

Al Viro fd8328be87 [PATCH] sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()
* unshare_files() can fail; doing it after irreversible actions is wrong
  and de_thread() is certainly irreversible.
* since we do it unconditionally anyway, we might as well do it in do_execve()
  and save ourselves the PITA in binfmt handlers, etc.
* while we are at it, binfmt_som actually leaked files_struct on failure.

As a side benefit, unshare_files(), put_files_struct() and reset_files_struct()
become unexported.

Al Viro 1ec7f1ddbe [PATCH] get rid of __exit_files(), __exit_fs() and __put_fs_struct()
The only reason to have separated __...() for those was to keep them inlined
for local users in exit.c.  Since Alexey removed the inline on those, there's
no reason whatsoever to keep them around; just collapse with normal variants.

Roland McGrath 54a0151041 asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call
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.

Oleg Nesterov 821c7de719 exit_notify: fix kill_orphaned_pgrp() usage with mt exit
1. exit_notify() always calls kill_orphaned_pgrp(). This is wrong, we
   should do this only when the whole process exits.

2. exit_notify() uses "current" as "ignored_task", obviously wrong.
   Use ->group_leader instead.

Test case:

	void hup(int sig)
	{
		printf("HUP received\n");
	}

	void *tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		sleep(2);
		printf("sub-thread exited\n");
		return NULL;
	}

	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		if (!fork()) {
			signal(SIGHUP, hup);
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
			exit(0);
		}

		pthread_t thr;
		pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);

		sleep(1);
		printf("main thread exited\n");
		syscall(__NR_exit, 0);

		return 0;
	}

output:

	main thread exited
	HUP received
	Hangup

With this patch the output is:

	main thread exited
	sub-thread exited
	HUP received

Oleg Nesterov 05e83df624 will_become_orphaned_pgrp: partially fix insufficient ->exit_state check
p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have
sub-threads.  Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)"
instead.

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.

As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not
dare to do other changes.

Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too.  But we
can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues.

Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread.
The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it.  This
is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately.

_all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace.  After this each call

one.

Eric W. Biederman 161550d74c pid: sys_wait... fixes
This modifies do_wait and eligible child to take a pair of enum pid_type
and struct pid *pid to precisely specify what set of processes are eligible
to be waited for, instead of the raw pid_t value from sys_wait4.

This fixes a bug in sys_waitid where you could not wait for children in
just process group 1.

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.

Oleg Nesterov 5dee1707df move the related code from exit_notify() to exit_signals()
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.

Oleg Nesterov d12619b5ff fix group stop with exit race
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
related code from exit_notify() to exit_signals().

Oleg Nesterov c543f1ee08 wait_task_zombie: remove ->exit_state/exit_signal checks for WNOWAIT
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.

Oleg Nesterov f2cc3eb133 do_wait: fix security checks
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().

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.

Oleg Nesterov ee7c82da83 wait_task_stopped: simplify and fix races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL/untrace
wait_task_stopped() has multiple races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL.  tasklist_lock
does not pin the child in TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED stated, almost all info
reported (including exit_code) may be wrong.

In fact, the code under write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) is not safe.  The child
may be PTRACE_DETACH'ed at this time by another subthread, in that case it is
possible we are no longer its ->parent.

Change wait_task_stopped() to take ->siglock before inspecting the task.  This
guarantees that the child can't resume and (for example) clear its
->exit_code, so we don't need to use xchg(&p->exit_code) and re-check.  The
only exception is ptrace_stop() which changes ->state and ->exit_code without
->siglock held during abort.  But this can only happen if both the tracer and
the tracee are dying (coredump is in progress), we don't care.

With this patch wait_task_stopped() doesn't move the child to the end of
the ->parent list on success.  This optimization could be restored, but
in that case we have to take write_lock(tasklist) and do some nasty
checks.

Also change the do_wait() since we don't return EAGAIN any longer.

Scott James Remnant e6ceb32aa2 wait_task_stopped(): pass correct exit_code to wait_noreap_copyout()
In wait_task_stopped() exit_code already contains the right value for the
si_status member of siginfo, and this is simply set in the non WNOWAIT
case.

If you call waitid() with a stopped or traced process, you'll get the signal
in siginfo.si_status as expected -- however if you call waitid(WNOWAIT) at the
same time, you'll get the signal << 8 | 0x7f

Pass it unchanged to wait_noreap_copyout(); we would only need to shift it
and add 0x7f if we were returning it in the user status field and that
isn't used for any function that permits WNOWAIT.

Pavel Emelyanov ba25f9dcc4 Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks
The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

Pavel Emelyanov 9a2e70572e Isolate the explicit usage of signal->pgrp
The pgrp field is not used widely around the kernel so it is now marked as
deprecated with appropriate comment.

The initialization of INIT_SIGNALS is trimmed because
a) they are set to 0 automatically;
b) gcc cannot properly initialize two anonymous (the second one
   is the one with the session) unions. In this particular case
   to make it compile we'd have to add some field initialized
   right before the .pgrp.

This is the same patch as the 1ec320afdc one
(from Cedric), but for the pgrp field.

Some progress report:

We have to deprecate the pid, tgid, session and pgrp fields on struct
task_struct and struct signal_struct.  The session and pgrp are already
deprecated.  The tgid value is close to being such - the worst known usage
in in fs/locks.c and audit code.  The pid field deprecation is mainly
blocked by numerous printk-s around the kernel that print the tsk->pid to
log.

Pavel Emelyanov b488893a39 pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to user
This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.

The idea is:
 - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
   or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
 - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
   should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
 - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
   should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
   task's namespace the global one is to be used;
 - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
   the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

Pavel Emelyanov 60347f6716 pid namespaces: prepare proc_flust_task() to flush entries from multiple proc trees
The first part is trivial - we just make the proc_flush_task() to operate on
arbitrary vfsmount with arbitrary ids and pass the pid and global proc_mnt to
it.

The other change is more tricky: I moved the proc_flush_task() call in
release_task() higher to address the following problem.

When flushing task from many proc trees we need to know the set of ids (not
just one pid) to find the dentries' names to flush.  Thus we need to pass the
task's pid to proc_flush_task() as struct pid is the only object that can
provide all the pid numbers.  But after __exit_signal() task has detached all
his pids and this information is lost.

This creates a tiny gap for proc_pid_lookup() to bring some dentries back to
tree and keep them in hash (since pids are still alive before __exit_signal())
till the next shrink, but since proc_flush_task() does not provide a 100%
guarantee that the dentries will be flushed, this is OK to do so.

Pavel Emelyanov 2e4a707269 pid namespaces: move exit_task_namespaces()
Make task release its namespaces after it has reparented all his children to
child_reaper, but before it notifies its parent about its death.

The reason to release namespaces after reparenting is that when task exits it
may send a signal to its parent (SIGCHLD), but if the parent has already
exited its namespaces there will be no way to decide what pid to dever to him
- parent can be from different namespace.

The reason to release namespace before notifying the parent it that when task
sends a SIGCHLD to parent it can call wait() on this taks and release it.  But
releasing the mnt namespace implies dropping of all the mounts in the mnt
namespace and NFS expects the task to have valid sighand pointer.

Thanks to Oleg for pointing out some races that can apear and helping with
patches and fixes.

Oleg Nesterov 762a24beed pid namespaces: rework forget_original_parent()
A pid namespace is a "view" of a particular set of tasks on the system.  They
work in a similar way to filesystem namespaces.  A file (or a process) can be
accessed in multiple namespaces, but it may have a different name in each.  In
a filesystem, this name might be /etc/passwd in one namespace, but
/chroot/etc/passwd in another.

For processes, a process may have pid 1234 in one namespace, but be pid 1 in
another.  This allows new pid namespaces to have basically arbitrary pids, and
not have to worry about what pids exist in other namespaces.  This is
essential for checkpoint/restart where a restarted process's pid might collide
with an existing process on the system's pid.

In this particular implementation, pid namespaces have a parent-child
relationship, just like processes.  A process in a pid namespace may see all
of the processes in the same namespace, as well as all of the processes in all
of the namespaces which are children of its namespace.  Processes may not,
however, see others which are in their parent's namespace, but not in their
own.  The same goes for sibling namespaces.

The know issue to be solved in the nearest future is signal handling in the
namespace boundary.  That is, currently the namespace's init is treated like
an ordinary task that can be killed from within an namespace.  Ideally, the
signal handling by the namespace's init should have two sides: when signaling
the init from its namespace, the init should look like a real init task, i.e.
receive only those signals, that is explicitly wants to; when signaling the
init from one of the parent namespaces, init should look like an ordinary
task, i.e.  receive any signal, only taking the general permissions into
account.

The pid namespace was developed by Pavel Emlyanov and Sukadev Bhattiprolu and
we eventually came to almost the same implementation, which differed in some
details.  This set is based on Pavel's patches, but it includes comments and
patches that from Sukadev.

Many thanks to Oleg, who reviewed the patches, pointed out many BUGs and made
valuable advises on how to make this set cleaner.

This patch:

We have to call exit_task_namespaces() only after the exiting task has
reparented all his children and is sure that no other threads will reparent
theirs for it.  Why this is needed is explained in appropriate patch.  This
one only reworks the forget_original_parent() so that after calling this a
task cannot be/become parent of any other task.

We check PF_EXITING instead of ->exit_state while choosing the new parent.
Note that tasklits_lock acts as a barrier, everyone who takes tasklist after
us (when forget_original_parent() drops it) must see PF_EXITING.

The other changes are just cleanups.  They just move some code from
exit_notify to forget_original_parent().  It is a bit silly to declare
ptrace_dead in exit_notify(), take tasklist, pass ptrace_dead to
forget_original_parent(), unlock-lock-unlock tasklist, and then use
ptrace_dead.

Pavel Emelyanov cf7b708c8d Make access to task's nsproxy lighter
When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock
the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists.  This is
slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases.

E.g.  Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for
review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it
has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is
impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock.

On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing
the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we
can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above.

The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed
like this:

     rcu_read_lock();
     nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk);
     if (nsproxy != NULL) {
             / *
               * work with the namespaces here
               * e.g. get the reference on one of them
               * /
     } / *
         * NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is
         * almost dead (zombie)
         * /
     rcu_read_unlock();

This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and,
of course, tested.

Serge E. Hallyn b460cbc581 pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().

A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.

A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.

Changelog:

	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().

	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:

	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

Pavel Emelianov a47afb0f9d pid namespaces: round up the API
The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.

The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
  represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
  the common prefix of the same name.

For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.
