fork: Generalize PF_IO_WORKER handling

2022-05-07T14:01:59+00:00

Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for
them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER).
This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs
in kernel mode to use this functionality.

The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test
because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly
differently than user space tasks that start with a function.

The functions that created tasks that start with a function
have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of
".stack" and ".stack_size".  These functions are fork_idle(),
create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread().

fork: Pass struct kernel_clone_args into copy_thread

2022-05-07T14:01:48+00:00

With io_uring we have started supporting tasks that are for most
purposes user space tasks that exclusively run code in kernel mode.

The kernel task that exec's init and tasks that exec user mode
helpers are also user mode tasks that just run kernel code
until they call kernel execve.

Pass kernel_clone_args into copy_thread so these oddball
tasks can be supported more cleanly and easily.

Merge tag 'ptrace-cleanups-for-v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2022-03-29T00:29:53+00:00

Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
  the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
  permission check to ptrace.c

  The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
  source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
  task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
  semantics clearer).

  For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
  implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
  was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
  years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
  bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
  some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"

2022-03-10T22:51:50+00:00

Move set_notify_resume and tracehook_notify_resume into resume_user_mode.h.
While doing that rename tracehook_notify_resume to resume_user_mode_work.

Update all of the places that included tracehook.h for these functions to
include resume_user_mode.h instead.

Update all of the callers of tracehook_notify_resume to call
resume_user_mode_work.

ptrace: Create ptrace_report_syscall_{entry,exit} in ptrace.h

2022-03-10T19:35:08+00:00

Rename tracehook_report_syscall_{entry,exit} to
ptrace_report_syscall_{entry,exit} and place them in ptrace.h

There is no longer any generic tracehook infractructure so make
these ptrace specific functions ptrace specific.

uaccess: fix type mismatch warnings from access_ok()

2022-02-25T08:36:05+00:00

On some architectures, access_ok() does not do any argument type
checking, so replacing the definition with a generic one causes
a few warnings for harmless issues that were never caught before.

Fix the ones that I found either through my own test builds or
that were reported by the 0-day bot.

exit: Add and use make_task_dead.

2021-12-13T18:04:45+00:00

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked

2021-10-15T09:25:14+00:00

Having a stable wchan means the process must be blocked and for it to
stay that way while performing stack unwinding.

NIOS2: setup.c: drop unused variable 'dram_start'

This is a nuisance when CONFIG_WERROR is set, so drop the variable
declaration since the code that used it was removed.
