For certain use cases it is desired to enforce mitigations so they cannot
be undone afterwards. That's important for loader stubs which want to
prevent a child from disabling the mitigation again. Will also be used for
seccomp(). The extra state preserving of the prctl state for SSB is a
preparatory step for EBPF dymanic speculation control.

get_task_umask locks/unlocks the task on its own.  The only caller does
the same thing immediately after.

Utilize the fact the task has to be locked anyway and just do it once.
Since there are no other users and the code is short, fold it in.

<title>proc, coredump: add CoreDumping flag to /proc/pid/status</title>
<updated>2017-11-18T00:10:00+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Roman Gushchin</name>
<email>guro@fb.com</email>

<published>2017-11-17T23:26:45+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=c643401218be0f4ab3522e0c0a63016596d6e9ca'/>
<id>c643401218be0f4ab3522e0c0a63016596d6e9ca</id>
<content type='text'>
Right now there is no convenient way to check if a process is being
coredumped at the moment.

It might be necessary to recognize such state to prevent killing the
process and getting a broken coredump.  Writing a large core might take
significant time, and the process is unresponsive during it, so it might
be killed by timeout, if another process is monitoring and
killing/restarting hanging tasks.

We're getting a significant number of corrupted coredump files on
machines in our fleet, just because processes are being killed by
timeout in the middle of the core writing process.

We do have a process health check, and some agent is responsible for
restarting processes which are not responding for health check requests.
Writing a large coredump to the disk can easily exceed the reasonable
timeout (especially on an overloaded machine).

This flag will allow the agent to distinguish processes which are being
coredumped, extend the timeout for them, and let them produce a full
coredump file.

To provide an ability to detect if a process is in the state of being
coredumped, we can expose a boolean CoreDumping flag in
/proc/pid/status.

Example:
$ cat core.sh
  #!/bin/sh

  echo "|/usr/bin/sleep 10" &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
  sleep 1000 &amp;
  PID=$!

  cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping
  kill -ABRT $PID
  sleep 1
  cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping

$ ./core.sh
  CoreDumping:	0
  CoreDumping:	1

Right now there is no convenient way to check if a process is being
coredumped at the moment.

It might be necessary to recognize such state to prevent killing the
process and getting a broken coredump.  Writing a large core might take
significant time, and the process is unresponsive during it, so it might
be killed by timeout, if another process is monitoring and
killing/restarting hanging tasks.

We're getting a significant number of corrupted coredump files on
machines in our fleet, just because processes are being killed by
timeout in the middle of the core writing process.

We do have a process health check, and some agent is responsible for
restarting processes which are not responding for health check requests.
Writing a large coredump to the disk can easily exceed the reasonable
timeout (especially on an overloaded machine).

This flag will allow the agent to distinguish processes which are being
coredumped, extend the timeout for them, and let them produce a full
coredump file.

To provide an ability to detect if a process is in the state of being
coredumped, we can expose a boolean CoreDumping flag in
/proc/pid/status.

Example:
$ cat core.sh
  #!/bin/sh

  echo "|/usr/bin/sleep 10" &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
  sleep 1000 &amp;
  PID=$!

  cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping
  kill -ABRT $PID
  sleep 1
  cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping

$ ./core.sh
  CoreDumping:	0
  CoreDumping:	1

[guro@fb.com: document CoreDumping flag in /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/status]

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main updates in this cycle were:

   - Group balancing enhancements and cleanups (Brendan Jackman)

   - Move CPU isolation related functionality into its separate
     kernel/sched/isolation.c file, with related 'housekeeping_*()'
     namespace and nomenclature et al. (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Improve the interactive/cpu-intense fairness calculation (Josef
     Bacik)

   - Improve the PELT code and related cleanups (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Improve the logic of pick_next_task_fair() (Uladzislau Rezki)

   - Improve the RT IPI based balancing logic (Steven Rostedt)

   - Various micro-optimizations:

   - better !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG optimizations (Patrick Bellasi)

   - better idle loop (Cheng Jian)

   - ... plus misc fixes, cleanups and updates"

* 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (54 commits)
  sched/core: Optimize sched_feat() for !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG builds
  sched/sysctl: Fix attributes of some extern declarations
  sched/isolation: Document isolcpus= boot parameter flags, mark it deprecated
  sched/isolation: Add basic isolcpus flags
  sched/isolation: Move isolcpus= handling to the housekeeping code
  sched/isolation: Handle the nohz_full= parameter

  sched/isolation: Use its own static key
  sched/isolation: Make the housekeeping cpumask private
  sched/isolation: Provide a dynamic off-case to housekeeping_any_cpu()
