Commit eda0047296a1 ("mm: make the page fault mmap locking killable")
intentionally made it much easier to trigger the "page fault fails
because a fatal signal is pending" situation, by having the mmap locking
fail early in that case.

We have long aborted page faults in other fatal cases when the actual IO
for a page is interrupted by SIGKILL - which is particularly useful for
the traditional case of NFS hanging due to network issues, but local
filesystems could cause it too if you happened to get the SIGKILL while
waiting for a page to be faulted in (eg lock_folio_maybe_drop_mmap()).

So aborting the page fault wasn't a new condition - but it now triggers
earlier, before we even get to 'handle_mm_fault()'.  And as a result the
error doesn't go through our 'fault_signal_pending()' logic, and doesn't
get filtered away there.

Normally you'd never even notice, because if a fatal signal is pending,
the new SIGSEGV we send ends up being ignored anyway.

But it turns out that there is one very noticeable exception: if you
enable 'show_unhandled_signals', the aborted page fault will be logged
in the kernel messages, and you'll get a scary line looking something
like this in your logs:

  pverados[2183248]: segfault at 55e5a00f9ae0 ip 000055e5a00f9ae0 sp 00007ffc0720bea8 error 14 in perl[55e5a00d4000+195000] likely on CPU 10 (core 4, socket 0)

which is rather misleading.  It's not really a segfault at all, it's
just "the thread was killed before the page fault completed, so we
aborted the page fault".

Fix this by just making it clear that a pending fatal signal means that
any new signal coming in after that is implicitly handled.  This will
avoid the misleading logging, since now the signal isn't 'unhandled' any
more.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "The changes for sysctl are in line with prior efforts to stop usage of
  deprecated routines which incur recursion and also make it hard to
  remove the empty array element in each sysctl array declaration.

  The most difficult user to modify was parport which required a bit of
  re-thinking of how to declare shared sysctls there, Joel Granados has
  stepped up to the plate to do most of this work and eventual removal
  of register_sysctl_table(). That work ended up saving us about 1465
  bytes according to bloat-o-meter. Since we gained a few bloat-o-meter
  karma points I moved two rather small sysctl arrays from
  kernel/sysctl.c leaving us only two more sysctl arrays to move left.

  Most changes have been tested on linux-next for about a month. The
  last straggler patches are a minor parport fix, changes to the sysctl
  kernel selftest so to verify correctness and prevent regressions for
  the future change he made to provide an alternative solution for the
  special sysctl mount point target which was using the now deprecated
  sysctl child element.

  This is all prep work to now finally be able to remove the empty array
  element in all sysctl declarations / registrations which is expected
  to save us a bit of bytes all over the kernel. That work will be
  tested early after v6.5-rc1 is out"

When switching from kthreads to vhost_tasks two bugs were added:
1. The vhost worker tasks's now show up as processes so scripts doing
ps or ps a would not incorrectly detect the vhost task as another
process.  2. kthreads disabled freeze by setting PF_NOFREEZE, but
vhost tasks's didn't disable or add support for them.

To fix both bugs, this switches the vhost task to be thread in the
process that does the VHOST_SET_OWNER ioctl, and has vhost_worker call
get_signal to support SIGKILL/SIGSTOP and freeze signals. Note that
SIGKILL/STOP support is required because CLONE_THREAD requires
CLONE_SIGHAND which requires those 2 signals to be supported.

This is a modified version of the patch written by Mike Christie
<michael.christie@oracle.com> which was a modified version of patch
originally written by Linus.

Much of what depended upon PF_IO_WORKER now depends on PF_USER_WORKER.
Including ignoring signals, setting up the register state, and having
get_signal return instead of calling do_group_exit.

Tidied up the vhost_task abstraction so that the definition of
vhost_task only needs to be visible inside of vhost_task.c.  Making
it easier to review the code and tell what needs to be done where.
As part of this the main loop has been moved from vhost_worker into
vhost_task_fn.  vhost_worker now returns true if work was done.

The main loop has been updated to call get_signal which handles
SIGSTOP, freezing, and collects the message that tells the thread to
exit as part of process exit.  This collection clears
__fatal_signal_pending.  This collection is not guaranteed to
clear signal_pending() so clear that explicitly so the schedule()
sleeps.

For now the vhost thread continues to exist and run work until the
last file descriptor is closed and the release function is called as
part of freeing struct file.  To avoid hangs in the coredump
rendezvous and when killing threads in a multi-threaded exec.  The
coredump code and de_thread have been modified to ignore vhost threads.

Remvoing the special case for exec appears to require teaching
vhost_dev_flush how to directly complete transactions in case
the vhost thread is no longer running.

Removing the special case for coredump rendezvous requires either the
above fix needed for exec or moving the coredump rendezvous into
get_signal.

The show_unhandled_signals sysctl is the only sysctl for debug
left on kernel/sysctl.c. We've been moving the syctls out from
kernel/sysctl.c so to help avoid merge conflicts as the shared
array gets out of hand.

This change incurs simplifies sysctl registration by localizing
it where it should go for a penalty in size of increasing the
kernel by 23 bytes, we accept this given recent cleanups have
actually already saved us 1465 bytes in the prior commits.

POSIX timers using the CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID clock prefer the main
thread of a thread group for signal delivery. However, this has a
significant downside: it requires waking up a potentially idle thread.

Instead, prefer to deliver signals to the current thread (in the same
thread group) if SIGEV_THREAD_ID is not set by the user. This does not
change guaranteed semantics, since POSIX process CPU time timers have
never guaranteed that signal delivery is to a specific thread (without
SIGEV_THREAD_ID set).

The effect is that queueing the signal no longer wakes up potentially idle
threads, and the kernel is no longer biased towards delivering the timer
signal to any particular thread (which better distributes the timer signals
esp. when multiple timers fire concurrently).

This feature allows the scheduler to expose a per-memory map concurrency
ID to user-space. This concurrency ID is within the possible cpus range,
and is temporarily (and uniquely) assigned while threads are actively
running within a memory map. If a memory map has fewer threads than
cores, or is limited to run on few cores concurrently through sched
affinity or cgroup cpusets, the concurrency IDs will be values close
to 0, thus allowing efficient use of user-space memory for per-cpu
data structures.

This feature is meant to be exposed by a new rseq thread area field.

The primary purpose of this feature is to do the heavy-lifting needed
by memory allocators to allow them to use per-cpu data structures
efficiently in the following situations:

- Single-threaded applications,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with limited
  cpu affinity mask,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with
  restricted cgroup cpuset per container.

One of the key concern from scheduler maintainers is the overhead
associated with additional spin locks or atomic operations in the
scheduler fast-path. This is why the following optimization is
implemented.

On context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map,
transfer the mm_cid from prev to next without any atomic ops. This
takes care of use-cases involving frequent context switch between
threads belonging to the same memory map.

Additional optimizations can be done if the spin locks added when
context switching between threads belonging to different memory maps end
up being a performance bottleneck. Those are left out of this patch
though. A performance impact would have to be clearly demonstrated to
justify the added complexity.

The credit goes to Paul Turner (Google) for the original virtual cpu id
idea. This feature is implemented based on the discussions with Paul
Turner and Peter Oskolkov (Google), but I took the liberty to implement
scheduler fast-path optimizations and my own NUMA-awareness scheme. The
rumor has it that Google have been running a rseq vcpu_id extension
internally in production for a year. The tcmalloc source code indeed has
comments hinting at a vcpu_id prototype extension to the rseq system
call [1].

The following benchmarks do not show any significant overhead added to
the scheduler context switch by this feature:

Baseline:                    86.5±0.3 ms
