Pull ptrace_stop cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "While looking at the ptrace problems with PREEMPT_RT and the problems
  Peter Zijlstra was encountering with ptrace in his freezer rewrite I
  identified some cleanups to ptrace_stop that make sense on their own
  and move make resolving the other problems much simpler.

  The biggest issue is the habit of the ptrace code to change
  task-&gt;__state from the tracer to suppress TASK_WAKEKILL from waking up
  the tracee. No other code in the kernel does that and it is straight
  forward to update signal_wake_up and friends to make that unnecessary.

  Peter's task freezer sets frozen tasks to a new state TASK_FROZEN and
  then it stores them by calling "wake_up_state(t, TASK_FROZEN)" relying
  on the fact that all stopped states except the special stop states can
  tolerate spurious wake up and recover their state.

  The state of stopped and traced tasked is changed to be stored in
  task-&gt;jobctl as well as in task-&gt;__state. This makes it possible for
  the freezer to recover tasks in these special states, as well as
  serving as a general cleanup. With a little more work in that
  direction I believe TASK_STOPPED can learn to tolerate spurious wake
  ups and become an ordinary stop state.

  The TASK_TRACED state has to remain a special state as the registers
  for a process are only reliably available when the process is stopped
  in the scheduler. Fundamentally ptrace needs acess to the saved
  register values of a task.

  There are bunch of semi-random ptrace related cleanups that were found
  while looking at these issues.

  One cleanup that deserves to be called out is from commit 57b6de08b5f6
  ("ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs"). This
  makes a change that is technically user space visible, in the handling
  of what happens to a tracee when a tracer dies unexpectedly. According
  to our testing and our understanding of userspace nothing cares that
  spurious SIGTRAPs can be generated in that case"

Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode
  tasks.

  Commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for
  all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call
  kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct
  kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of
  struct kthread possible.

  Here, commit 343f4c49f243 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for
  init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple
  enough to be backportable.

  The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things
  up and cause the code to make sense.

  In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks
  I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
  detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
  PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
  flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
  was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace
  thread.

  I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review
  I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code
  sitting in linux-next"

setup_arch() calls cpumask_weight() to check if any bit of a given cpumask
is set. We can do it more efficiently with cpumask_empty() because
cpumask_empty() stops traversing the cpumask as soon as it finds first set
bit, while cpumask_weight() counts all bits unconditionally.

Kernel now supports chained power-off handlers. Use do_kernel_power_off()
that invokes chained power-off handlers. It also invokes legacy
pm_power_off() for now, which will be removed once all drivers will
be converted to the new sys-off API.

mlogbuf_rlock has declared and initialized by DEFINE_SPINLOCK,
so we don't need to spin_lock_init again, drop it.

<title>ptrace: Remove arch_ptrace_attach</title>

The last remaining implementation of arch_ptrace_attach is ia64's
ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs which was added at the end of 2007 in
commit aa91a2e90044 ("[IA64] Synchronize RBS on PTRACE_ATTACH").

Reading the comments and examining the code ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs
has the sole purpose of saving registers to the stack when ptrace_attach
changes TASK_STOPPED to TASK_TRACED.  In all other cases arch_ptrace_stop
takes care of the register saving.

In commit d79fdd6d96f4 ("ptrace: Clean transitions between TASK_STOPPED and TRACED")
modified ptrace_attach to wake up the thread and enter ptrace_stop normally even
when the thread starts out stopped.

This makes ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs completely unnecessary.  So just
remove it.

I read through the code to verify that ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs is
unnecessary.  What I found is that the code is quite dead.

Reading ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs it is easy to see that the it does
nothing unless __state == TASK_STOPPED.

Calling arch_ptrace_attach (aka ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs) after
ptrace_traceme it is easy to see that because we are talking about the
current process the value of __state is TASK_RUNNING.  Which means
ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs does nothing.

The only other call of arch_ptrace_attach (aka
ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs) is after ptrace_attach.

If the task is running (and PTRACE_SEIZE is not specified), a SIGSTOP
is sent which results in do_signal_stop setting JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP on
the target task (as it is ptraced) and the target task stopping
in ptrace_stop with __state == TASK_TRACED.

If the task was already stopped then ptrace_attach sets
JOBCTL_TRAPPING and JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP, wakes it out of __TASK_STOPPED,
and waits until the JOBCTL_TRAPPING_BIT is clear.  At which point
the task stops in ptrace_stop.

In both cases there are a couple of funning excpetions such as if the
traced task receiveds a SIGCONT, or is set a fatal signal.

However in all of those cases the tracee never stops in __state
TASK_STOPPED.  Which is a long way of saying that ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs
is guaranteed never to do anything.
