commit 77f6ab8b7768cf5e6bdd0e72499270a0671506ee upstream.

Coredump logics needs to report not only the registers of the dumping
thread, but (since 2.5.43) those of other threads getting killed.

Doing that might require extra state saved on the stack in asm glue at
kernel entry; signal delivery logics does that (we need to be able to
save sigcontext there, at the very least) and so does seccomp.

That covers all callers of do_coredump().  Secondary threads get hit with
SIGKILL and caught as soon as they reach exit_mm(), which normally happens
in signal delivery, so those are also fine most of the time.  Unfortunately,
it is possible to end up with secondary zapped when it has already entered
exit(2) (or, worse yet, is oopsing).  In those cases we reach exit_mm()
when mm-&gt;core_state is already set, but the stack contents is not what
we would have in signal delivery.

At least on two architectures (alpha and m68k) it leads to infoleaks - we
end up with a chunk of kernel stack written into coredump, with the contents
consisting of normal C stack frames of the call chain leading to exit_mm()
instead of the expected copy of userland registers.  In case of alpha we
leak 312 bytes of stack.  Other architectures (including the regset-using
ones) might have similar problems - the normal user of regsets is ptrace
and the state of tracee at the time of such calls is special in the same
way signal delivery is.

Note that had the zapper gotten to the exiting thread slightly later,
it wouldn't have been included into coredump anyway - we skip the threads
that have already cleared their -&gt;mm.  So let's pretend that zapper always
loses the race.  IOW, have exit_mm() only insert into the dumper list if
we'd gotten there from handling a fatal signal[*]

As the result, the callers of do_exit() that have *not* gone through get_signal()
are not seen by coredump logics as secondary threads.  Which excludes voluntary
exit()/oopsen/traps/etc.  The dumper thread itself is unaffected by that,
so seccomp is fine.

[*] originally I intended to add a new flag in tsk-&gt;flags, but ebiederman pointed
out that PF_SIGNALED is already doing just what we need.

<title>exit: Move preemption fixup up, move blocking operations down</title>

[ Upstream commit 586b58cac8b4683eb58a1446fbc399de18974e40 ]

With CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y and CONFIG_CGROUPS=y, kernel oopses in
non-preemptible context look untidy; after the main oops, the kernel prints
a "sleeping function called from invalid context" report because
exit_signals() -&gt; cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin() -&gt; percpu_down_read()
can sleep, and that happens before the preempt_count_set(PREEMPT_ENABLED)
fixup.

It looks like the same thing applies to profile_task_exit() and
kcov_task_exit().

Fix it by moving the preemption fixup up and the calls to
profile_task_exit() and kcov_task_exit() down.

<title>kernel/exit.c: release ptraced tasks before zap_pid_ns_processes</title>

commit 8fb335e078378c8426fabeed1ebee1fbf915690c upstream.

Currently, exit_ptrace() adds all ptraced tasks in a dead list, then
zap_pid_ns_processes() waits on all tasks in a current pidns, and only
then are tasks from the dead list released.

zap_pid_ns_processes() can get stuck on waiting tasks from the dead
list.  In this case, we will have one unkillable process with one or
more dead children.

Thanks to Oleg for the advice to release tasks in find_child_reaper().

Exactly because for_each_thread() in autogroup_move_group() can't see it
and update its -&gt;sched_task_group before _put() and possibly free().

So the exiting task needs another sched_move_task() before exit_notify()
and we need to re-introduce the PF_EXITING (or similar) check removed by
the previous change for another reason.

<title>sched/core: Optimize __schedule()</title>

Oleg noted that by making do_exit() use __schedule() for the TASK_DEAD
context switch, we can avoid the TASK_DEAD special case currently in
__schedule() because that avoids the extra preempt_disable() from
schedule().

In order to facilitate this, create a do_task_dead() helper which we
place in the scheduler code, such that it can access __schedule().

Also add some __noreturn annotations to the functions, there's no
coming back from do_exit().

__schedule() because that avoids the extra preempt_disable() from
schedule().

In order to facilitate this, create a do_task_dead() helper which we
place in the scheduler code, such that it can access __schedule().

Also add some __noreturn annotations to the functions, there's no
coming back from do_exit().

<title>mm, mempolicy: task-&gt;mempolicy must be NULL before dropping final reference</title>

KASAN allocates memory from the page allocator as part of
kmem_cache_free(), and that can reference current-&gt;mempolicy through any
number of allocation functions.  It needs to be NULL'd out before the
final reference is dropped to prevent a use-after-free bug:

	BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in alloc_pages_current+0x363/0x370 at addr ffff88010b48102c
	CPU: 0 PID: 15425 Comm: trinity-c2 Not tainted 4.8.0-rc2+ #140
	...
	Call Trace:
		dump_stack
		kasan_object_err
		kasan_report_error
		__asan_report_load2_noabort
		alloc_pages_current	&lt;-- use after free
		depot_save_stack
		save_stack
		kasan_slab_free
		kmem_cache_free
		__mpol_put		&lt;-- free
		do_exit

This patch sets current-&gt;mempolicy to NULL before dropping the final
reference.

Many targets enable CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE, and while the information
is useful, it isn't worthy of pr_warn().  Reduce it to pr_info().
