[ Upstream commit 2cf3a3c4b84def5406b830452b1cb8bbfffe0ebe ]

When signals are hard-blocked in order to do time-travel
socket processing, we set signals_blocked and then handle
SIGIO signals by setting the SIGIO bit in signals_pending.
When unblocking, we first set signals_blocked to 0, and
then handle all pending signals. We have to set it first,
so that we can again properly block/unblock inside the
unblock, if the time-travel handlers need to be processed.

Unfortunately, this is racy. We can get into this situation:

// signals_pending = SIGIO_MASK

unblock_signals_hard()
   signals_blocked = 0;
   if (signals_pending &amp;&amp; signals_enabled) {
     block_signals();
     unblock_signals()
       ...
       sig_handler_common(SIGIO, NULL, NULL);
         sigio_handler()
           ...
           sigio_reg_handler()
             irq_do_timetravel_handler()
               reg-&gt;timetravel_handler() ==
               vu_req_interrupt_comm_handler()
                 vu_req_read_message()
                   vhost_user_recv_req()
                     vhost_user_recv()
                       vhost_user_recv_header()
                         // reads 12 bytes header of
                         // 20 bytes message
&lt;-- receive SIGIO here &lt;--
sig_handler()
   int enabled = signals_enabled; // 1
   if ((signals_blocked || !enabled) &amp;&amp; (sig == SIGIO)) {
     if (!signals_blocked &amp;&amp; time_travel_mode == TT_MODE_EXTERNAL)
       sigio_run_timetravel_handlers()
         _sigio_handler()
           sigio_reg_handler()
             ... as above ...
               vhost_user_recv_header()
                 // reads 8 bytes that were message payload
                 // as if it were header - but aborts since
                 // it then gets -EAGAIN
...
--&gt; end signal handler --&gt;
                       // continue in vhost_user_recv()
                       // full_read() for 8 bytes payload busy loops
                       // entire process hangs here

Conceptually, to fix this, we need to ensure that the
signal handler cannot run while we hard-unblock signals.
The thing that makes this more complex is that we can be
doing hard-block/unblock while unblocking. Introduce a
new signals_blocked_pending variable that we can keep at
non-zero as long as pending signals are being processed,
then we only need to ensure it's decremented safely and
the signal handler will only increment it if it's already
non-zero (or signals_blocked is set, of course.)

Note also that only the outermost call to hard-unblock is
allowed to decrement signals_blocked_pending, since it
could otherwise reach zero in an inner call, and leave
the same race happening if the timetravel_handler loops,
but that's basically required of it.

Make it match its definition (size_t vs unsigned long). And declare
it in a shared header to fix the -Wmissing-prototypes warning, as it
is defined in the user code and called in the kernel code.

These functions are not called explicitly. Let's just workaround
the -Wmissing-prototypes warnings by declaring them locally similar
to what was done in arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets_32.c.

This will address below -Wmissing-prototypes warnings:

The ARCH=um build has its own idea about strscpy()'s definition. Adjust
the callers to remove the redundant sizeof() arguments ahead of treewide
changes, since it needs a manual adjustment for the newly named
sized_strscpy() export.

The trampoline is running in a cloned process. It is not safe to use
printk for error printing there.

The threads allocated inside the kernel have only a single page of
stack. Unfortunately, the vfprintf function in standard glibc may use
too much stack-space, overflowing it.

To make os_info safe to be used by helper threads, use the kernel
vscnprintf function into a smallish buffer and write out the information
to stderr.
