A sigqueue belonging to a posix timer, which target is not a specific
thread but a whole thread group, is preferrably targeted to the current
task if it is part of that thread group.
However nothing prevents a posix timer event from queueing such a
sigqueue from a reaped yet running task. The interruptible code space
between exit_notify() and the final call to schedule() is enough for
posix_timer_fn() hrtimer to fire.
If that happens while the current task is part of the thread group
target, it is proposed to handle it but since its sighand pointer may
have been cleared already, the sigqueue is dropped even if there are
other tasks running within the group that could handle it.
As a result posix timers with thread group wide target may miss signals
when some of their threads are exiting.
Fix this with verifying that the current task hasn't been through
exit_notify() before proposing it as a preferred target so as to ensure
that its sighand is still here and stable.
complete_signal() might still reconsider the choice and find a better
target within the group if current has passed retarget_shared_pending()
already.

- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal
of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once
the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals
and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value.
This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of
posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as
the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules.
Cure this by:
* Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life
time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer
in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid
container_of() now.
* Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
* Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is
switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
* Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery
code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are
consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios
finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps
by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes
are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the
VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
* Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
* Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions
and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines.
* Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer
wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the
boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the
requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
* Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix
up stale documentation links all over the place
* Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's
the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user
space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor
based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be
accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and
they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel
provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts
timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates
on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for
the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight
forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core
code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already
prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
* Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other
clusters.
* Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement

A timer sigqueue may find itself already pending when it is tried to
be enqueued. This situation can happen if the timer sigqueue is enqueued
but then the timer is reset afterwards and fires before the pending
signal managed to be delivered.
However when such a double enqueue occurs while the corresponding signal
is ignored, the sigqueue is expected to be found either on the dedicated
ignored list if the timer was periodic or dropped if the timer was
one-shot. In any case it is not supposed to be queued on the real signal
queue.
An assertion verifies the latter expectation on top of the return value
of prepare_signal(), assuming "false" means that the signal is being
ignored. But prepare_signal() may also fail if the target is exiting as
the last task of its group. In this case the double enqueue observes the
sigqueue queued, as in such a situation:
TASK A (same group as B) TASK B (same group as A)
------------------------ ------------------------
// timer event
// queue signal to TASK B
posix_timer_queue_signal()
// reset timer through syscall
do_timer_settime()
// exit, leaving task B alone
do_exit()
do_exit()
synchronize_group_exit()
signal->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
// ========> <IRQ> timer event
posix_timer_queue_signal()
// return false due to SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
if (!prepare_signal())
WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&q->list))
And this spuriously triggers this warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5854 at kernel/signal.c:2008 posixtimer_send_sigqueue

Fortunately the recovery code in that case already does the right thing:
just exit from posixtimer_send_sigqueue() and wait for __exit_signal()
to flush the pending signal. Just make sure to warn only the case when
the sigqueue is queued and the signal is really ignored.

Prior to commit d646969055 ("Reimplement RLIMIT_SIGPENDING on top of
ucounts") UCOUNT_RLIMIT_SIGPENDING rlimit was not enforced for a class of
signals. However now it's enforced unconditionally, even if
override_rlimit is set. This behavior change caused production issues.
For example, if the limit is reached and a process receives a SIGSEGV
signal, sigqueue_alloc fails to allocate the necessary resources for the
signal delivery, preventing the signal from being delivered with siginfo.
This prevents the process from correctly identifying the fault address and
handling the error. From the user-space perspective, applications are
unaware that the limit has been reached and that the siginfo is
effectively 'corrupted'. This can lead to unpredictable behavior and
crashes, as we observed with java applications.
Fix this by passing override_rlimit into inc_rlimit_get_ucounts() and skip
the comparison to max there if override_rlimit is set. This effectively
restores the old behavior.

Queue posixtimers which have their signal ignored on the ignored list:
1) When the timer fires and the signal has SIG_IGN set
2) When SIG_IGN is installed via sigaction() and a timer signal
is already queued
This only happens when the signal is for a valid timer, which delivered the
signal in periodic mode. One-shot timer signals are correctly dropped.
Due to the lock order constraints (sighand::siglock nests inside
timer::lock) the signal code cannot access any of the timer fields which
are relevant to make this decision, e.g. timer::it_status.
This is addressed by establishing a protection scheme which requires to
lock both locks on the timer side for modifying decision fields in the
timer struct and therefore makes it possible for the signal delivery to
evaluate with only sighand:siglock being held:
1) Move the NULLification of timer->it_signal into the sighand::siglock
protected section of timer_delete() and check timer::it_signal in the
code path which determines whether the signal is dropped or queued on
the ignore list.
This ensures that a deleted timer cannot be moved onto the ignore
list, which would prevent it from being freed on exit() as it is not
longer in the process' posix timer list.
If the timer got moved to the ignored list before deletion then it is
removed from the ignored list under sighand lock in timer_delete().
2) Provide a new timer::it_sig_periodic flag, which gets set in the
signal queue path with both timer and sighand locks held if the timer
is actually in periodic mode at expiry time.
The ignore list code checks this flag under sighand::siglock and drops
the signal when it is not set.
If it is set, then the signal is moved to the ignored list independent
of the actual state of the timer.
When the signal is un-ignored later then the signal is moved back to
the signal queue. On signal delivery the posix timer side decides
about dropping the signal if the timer was re-armed, dis-armed or
deleted based on the signal sequence counter check.
If the thread/process exits then not yet delivered signals are
discarded which means the reference of the timer containing the
sigqueue is dropped and frees the timer.
This is way cheaper than requiring all code paths to lock
sighand::siglock of the target thread/process on any modification of
timer::it_status or going all the way and removing pending signals
from the signal queues on every rearm, disarm or delete operation.
So the protection scheme here is that on the timer side both timer::lock
and sighand::siglock have to be held for modifying
timer::it_signal
timer::it_sig_periodic
which means that on the signal side holding sighand::siglock is enough to
evaluate these fields.
In posixtimer_deliver_signal() holding timer::lock is sufficient to do the
sequence validation against timer::it_signal_seq because a concurrent
expiry is waiting on timer::lock to be released.
This completes the SIG_IGN handling and such timers are not longer self
rearmed which avoids pointless wakeups.

When a real handler (including SIG_DFL) is installed for a signal, which
had previously SIG_IGN set, then the list of ignored posix timers has to be
checked for timers which are affected by this change.
Add a list walk function which checks for the matching signal number and if
found requeues the timers signal, so the timer is rearmed on signal
delivery.
Rearming the timer right away is not possible because that requires to drop
sighand lock.

sequence count value at signal queueing time can be stored in struct
k_itimer itself.
This removes the requirement of treating siginfo::si_sys_private special as

The handling of the timer overrun in the signal code is inconsistent as it
takes previous overruns into account. This is just wrong as after the
reprogramming of a timer the overrun count starts over from a clean state,
i.e. 0.
Don't touch info::si_overrun in send_sigqueue() and only store the overrun
value at signal delivery time, which is computed from the timer itself
relative to the expiry time.

Signals of timers which are reprogammed, disarmed or deleted can deliver
signals related to the past. The POSIX spec is blury about this:
- "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration
notifications is unspecified."
- "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is
unspecified."
In both cases it is reasonable to expect that pending signals are
discarded. Especially in the reprogramming case it does not make sense to
account for previous overruns or to deliver a signal for a timer which has
been disarmed. This makes the behaviour consistent and understandable.
Remove the si_sys_private check from the signal delivery code and invoke
posix_timer_deliver_signal() unconditionally for posix timer related
signals.
Change posix_timer_deliver_signal() so it controls the actual signal
delivery via the return value. It now instructs the signal code to drop the
signal when:
1) The timer does not longer exist in the hash table
2) The timer signal_seq value is not the same as the si_sys_private value
which was set when the signal was queued.
This is also a preparatory change to embed the sigqueue into the k_itimer
structure, which in turn allows to remove the si_sys_private magic.

In case that a timer was reprogrammed or deleted an already pending signal

The si_sys_private member of the siginfo which is embedded in the
preallocated sigqueue is used by the posix timer code to decide whether a
timer must be reprogrammed on signal delivery.
The handling of this is racy as a long standing comment in that code
documents. It is modified with the timer lock held, but without sighand
lock being held. The actual signal delivery code checks for it under
sighand lock without holding the timer lock.
Hand the new value to send_sigqueue() as argument and store it with sighand
lock held. This is an intermediate change to address this issue.
The arguments to this function will be cleanup in subsequent changes.

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

Missing, failed, or corrupted core dumps might impede crash
investigations. To improve reliability of that process and consequently
the programs themselves, one needs to trace the path from producing
a core dumpfile to analyzing it. That path starts from the core dump file
written to the disk by the kernel or to the standard input of a user
mode helper program to which the kernel streams the coredump contents.
There are cases where the kernel will interrupt writing the core out or
produce a truncated/not-well-formed core dump without leaving a note.
Add logging for the core dump collection failure paths to be able to reason
what has gone wrong when the core dump is malformed or missing.

Commit f9010dbdce ("fork, vhost: Use CLONE_THREAD to fix freezer/ps regression")
When that patch was added vhost_tasks did not handle SIGKILL and would
try to ignore/clear the signal and continue on until the device's close
function was called. In the previous patches vhost_tasks and the vhost
drivers were converted to support SIGKILL by cleaning themselves up and
exiting. The hacks are no longer needed so this removes them.

Right now we determine the scope of the signal based on the type of
pidfd. There are use-cases where it's useful to override the scope of
the signal. For example in [1]. Add flags to determine the scope of the
signal:
(1) PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD: send signal to specific thread reference by @pidfd
(2) PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP: send signal to thread-group of @pidfd
(2) PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP: send signal to process-group of @pidfd
Since we now allow specifying PIDFD_SEND_PROCESS_GROUP for
pidfd_send_signal() to send signals to process groups we need to adjust
the check restricting si_code emulation by userspace to account for
PIDTYPE_PGID.

With this flag:
- pidfd_open() doesn't require that the target task must be
a thread-group leader
- pidfd_poll() succeeds when the task exits and becomes a
zombie (iow, passes exit_notify()), even if it is a leader
and thread-group is not empty.
This means that the behaviour of pidfd_poll(PIDFD_THREAD,
pid-of-group-leader) is not well defined if it races with
exec() from its sub-thread; pidfd_poll() can succeed or not
depending on whether pidfd_task_exited() is called before
or after exchange_tids().
Perhaps we can improve this behaviour later, pidfd_poll()
can probably take sig->group_exec_task into account. But
this doesn't really differ from the case when the leader
exits before other threads (so pidfd_poll() succeeds) and
then another thread execs and pidfd_poll() will block again.
thread_group_exited() is no longer used, perhaps it can die.

do_notify_pidfd() makes no sense until the whole thread group exits, change
do_notify_parent() to check thread_group_empty().
This avoids the unnecessary do_notify_pidfd() when tsk is not a leader, or
it exits before other threads, or it has a ptraced EXIT_ZOMBIE sub-thread.

The purpose of recalc_sigpending_and_wake() is not clear, it looks
"obviously unneeded" because we are going to send the signal which can't
be blocked or ignored.
Add the comment to explain why we can't rely on send_signal_locked() and
make this logic more simple/explicit. recalc_sigpending_and_wake() has no
other users, it can die.
In fact I think we don't even need signal_wake_up(), the target task must
be either current or a TASK_TRACED child, otherwise the usage of siglock
is not safe. But this needs another change.

Cosmetic, but imho it makes the usage look more clear and simple, the new
helper doesn't require to initialize "t".
After this change while_each_thread() has only 3 users, and it is only
used in the do/while loops.

there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.
The lengthier patch series are
- "kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation in
arch", from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and consolidation of
the "crashkernel=" kernel parameter handling.
- After much discussion, David Laight's "minmax: Relax type checks in
min() and max()" is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and the
use of min_t() and max_t().
- A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly fix
our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove
task_struct.therad_group.

The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned,
now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will
be maintained as an LTS kernel.
The architecture specific system call tables are updated for
the added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references
to the long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.
