d92fcf0552 signal: sys_pause() should check signal_pending()
ERESTART* is always wrong without TIF_SIGPENDING. Teach sys_pause()
to handle the spurious wakeup correctly.

40ae717d1e ptrace: fix signal->wait_chldexit usage in task_clear_group_stop_trapping()
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING waiting mechanism piggybacks on
signal->wait_chldexit which is primarily used to implement waiting for
wait(2) and friends.  When do_wait() waits on signal->wait_chldexit,
it uses a custom wake up callback, child_wait_callback(), which
expects the child task which is waking up the parent to be passed in
as @key to filter out spurious wakeups.

task_clear_group_stop_trapping() used __wake_up_sync() which uses NULL
@key causing the following oops if the parent was doing do_wait().

Fix it by using __wake_up_sync_key() and passing in the child as @key.

I still think it's a mistake to piggyback on wait_chldexit for this.
Given the relative low frequency of ptrace use, we would be much
better off leaving already complex wait_chldexit alone and using bit
waitqueue.

b182801ab3 signal: do_sigtimedwait() needs retarget_shared_pending()
do_sigtimedwait() changes current->blocked and thus it needs
set_current_blocked()->retarget_shared_pending().

We could use set_current_blocked() directly. It is fine to change
->real_blocked from all-zeroes to ->blocked and vice versa lockless,
but this is not immediately clear, looks racy, and needs a huge
comment to explain why this is correct.

To keep the things simple this patch adds the new static helper,
__set_task_blocked() which should be called with ->siglock held. This
way we can change both ->real_blocked and ->blocked atomically under
->siglock as the current code does. This is more understandable.

Perhaps it would be better to move compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait() into

bb7efee2ca signal: cleanup sys_rt_sigprocmask()
sys_rt_sigprocmask() looks unnecessarily complicated, simplify it.
We can just read current->blocked lockless unconditionally before
anything else and then copy-to-user it if needed.  At worst we
copy 4 words on mips.

We could copy-to-user the old mask first and simplify the code even
more, but the patch tries to keep the current behaviour: we change
current->block even if copy_to_user(oset) fails.

e6fa16ab9c signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()
In short, almost every changing of current->blocked is wrong, or at least
can lead to the unexpected results.

For example. Two threads T1 and T2, T1 sleeps in sigtimedwait/pause/etc.
kill(tgid, SIG) can pick T2 for TIF_SIGPENDING. If T2 calls sigprocmask()
and blocks SIG before it notices the pending signal, nobody else can handle
this pending shared signal.

I am not sure this is bug, but at least this looks strange imho. T1 should
not sleep forever, there is a signal which should wake it up.

This patch moves the code which actually changes ->blocked into the new
helper, set_current_blocked() and changes this code to call
retarget_shared_pending() as exit_signals() does. We should only care about
the signals we just blocked, we use "newset & ~current->blocked" as a mask.

We do not check !sigisemptyset(newblocked), retarget_shared_pending() is
cheap unless mask & shared_pending.

Note: for this particular case we could simply change sigprocmask() to
return -EINTR if signal_pending(), but then we should change other callers
and, more importantly, if we need this fix then set_current_blocked() will
have more callers and some of them can't restart. See the next patch as a
random example.

fec9993db0 signal: retarget_shared_pending: optimize while_each_thread() loop
retarget_shared_pending() blindly does recalc_sigpending_and_wake() for
every sub-thread, this is suboptimal. We can check t->blocked and stop
looping once every bit in shared_pending has the new target.

Note: we do not take task_is_stopped_or_traced(t) into account, we are
not trying to speed up the signal delivery or to avoid the unnecessary
(but harmless) signal_wake_up(0) in this unlikely case.

this is suboptimal. We can avoid the while_each_thread() loop in case when
there are no shared signals visible to us.

Add the "shared_pending.signal & ~blocked" check. We don't use tsk->blocked
directly but pass ~blocked as an argument, this is needed for the next patch.

ee77f07592 signal: Turn SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED into GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED
This patch moves SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED from signal_struct->flags to
task_struct->group_stop, and thus makes it per-thread.

Like SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can be false-positive
after return from get_signal_to_deliver(), this is fine. The only
purpose of this bit is: we can drop ->siglock after __dequeue_signal()
returns the sig_kernel_stop() signal and before we call
do_signal_stop(), in this case we must not miss SIGCONT if it comes in
between.

But, unlike SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can not be
false-positive in do_signal_stop() if multiple threads dequeue the
sig_kernel_stop() signal at the same time.

Consider two threads T1 and T2, SIGTTIN has a hanlder.

	- T1 dequeues SIGTSTP and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, then
	  it drops ->siglock

	- SIGCONT comes and clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, SIGTSTP
	  should be cancelled.

	- T2 dequeues SIGTTIN and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED again.
	  Since we have a handler we should not stop, T2 returns
	  to usermode to run the handler.

	- T1 continues, calls do_signal_stop() and wrongly starts
	  the group stop because SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED was restored
	  in between.

With or without this change:

	- we need to do something with ptrace_signal() which can
	  return SIGSTOP, but this needs another discussion

	- SIGSTOP can be lost if it races with the mt exec, will
	  be fixed later.

PF_EXITING or TASK_STOPPED has already called task_participate_group_stop()

when we start the new group stop.

Add a small comment to explain the !task_is_stopped() check. Note that this
check is not exactly right and it can lead to unnecessary stop later if the
thread is TASK_PTRACED. What we need is task_participated_in_group_stop(),
this will be solved later.

1deac632fc signal: prepare_signal(SIGCONT) shouldn't play with TIF_SIGPENDING
prepare_signal(SIGCONT) should never set TIF_SIGPENDING or wake up
the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE threads. We are going to call complete_signal()
which should pick the right thread correctly. All we need is to wake
up the TASK_STOPPED threads.

If the task was stopped, it can't return to usermode without taking
->siglock. Otherwise we don't care, and the spurious TIF_SIGPENDING
can't be useful.

The comment says:

	* If there is a handler for SIGCONT, we must make
	* sure that no thread returns to user mode before
	* we post the signal

It is not clear what this means. Probably, "when there's only a single
thread" and this continues to be true. Otherwise, even if this SIGCONT
is not private, with or without this change only one thread can dequeue
SIGCONT, other threads can happily return to user mode before before
that thread handles this signal.

Note also that wake_up_state(t, __TASK_STOPPED) can't race with the task
which changes its state, TASK_STOPPED state is protected by ->siglock as
well.

In short: when it comes to signal delivery, SIGCONT is the normal signal
and does not need any special support.

243b422af9 Relax si_code check in rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo
Commit da48524eb2 ("Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo
from spoofing the signal code") made the check on si_code too strict.
There are several legitimate places where glibc wants to queue a
negative si_code different from SI_QUEUE:

 - This was first noticed with glibc's aio implementation, which wants
   to queue a signal with si_code SI_ASYNCIO; the current kernel
   causes glibc's tst-aio4 test to fail because rt_sigqueueinfo()
   fails with EPERM.

 - Further examination of the glibc source shows that getaddrinfo_a()
   wants to use SI_ASYNCNL (which the kernel does not even define).
   The timer_create() fallback code wants to queue signals with SI_TIMER.

As suggested by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>, loosen the check to
forbid only the problematic SI_TKILL case.

ceb6bd67f9 job control: Notify the real parent of job control events regardless of ptrace
With recent changes, job control and ptrace stopped states are
properly separated and accessible to the real parent and the ptracer
respectively; however, notifications of job control stopped/continued
events to the real parent while ptraced are still missing.

A ptracee participates in group stop in ptrace_stop() but the
completion isn't notified.  If participation results in completion of
group stop, notify the real parent of the event.  The ptrace and group
stops are separate and can be handled as such.

However, when the real parent and the ptracer are in the same thread
group, only the ptrace stop event is visible through wait(2) and the
duplicate notifications are different from the current behavior and
are confusing.  Suppress group stop notification in such cases.

The continued state is shared between the real parent and the ptracer
but is only meaningful to the real parent.  Always notify the real
parent and notify the ptracer too for backward compatibility.  Similar
to stop notification, if the real parent is the ptracer, suppress a
duplicate notification.

Test case follows.

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <time.h>
  #include <errno.h>
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/ptrace.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>

  int main(void)
  {
	  const struct timespec ts100ms = { .tv_nsec = 100000000 };
	  pid_t tracee, tracer;
	  siginfo_t si;
	  int i;

	  tracee = fork();
	  if (tracee == 0) {
		  while (1) {
			  printf("tracee: SIGSTOP\n");
			  raise(SIGSTOP);
			  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
			  printf("tracee: SIGCONT\n");
			  raise(SIGCONT);
			  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
		  }
	  }

	  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WNOHANG | WNOWAIT);

	  tracer = fork();
	  if (tracer == 0) {
		  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
		  ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);

		  for (i = 0; i < 11; i++) {
			  si.si_pid = 0;
			  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
			  if (si.si_pid && si.si_code == CLD_TRAPPED)
				  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL,
					 (void *)(long)si.si_status);
		  }
		  printf("tracer: EXITING\n");
		  return 0;
	  }

	  while (1) {
		  si.si_pid = 0;
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WCONTINUED | WEXITED);
		  if (si.si_pid)
			  printf("mommy : WAIT status=%02d code=%02d\n",
				 si.si_status, si.si_code);
	  }
	  return 0;
  }

Before this patch, while ptraced, the real parent doesn't get
notifications for job control events, so although it can access those
events, the later waitid(2) call never wakes up.

  tracee: SIGSTOP
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  tracee: SIGCONT
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  tracee: SIGCONT
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  tracee: SIGCONT
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  tracer: EXITING
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  ^C

After this patch, it works as expected.

  tracee: SIGSTOP
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  tracee: SIGCONT
  mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  tracee: SIGCONT
  mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  tracee: SIGCONT

  ^C

-v2: Oleg pointed out that

     * Group stop notification to the real parent should also happen
       when ptracer detach races with ptrace_stop().

     * real_parent_is_ptracer() should be testing thread group
       equality not the task itself as wait(2) and stop/cont
       notifications are normally thread-group wide.

     Both issues are fixed accordingly.

     instead of child->group_leader->real_parent per Oleg's

62bcf9d992 job control: Job control stop notifications should always go to the real parent
The stopped notifications in do_signal_stop() and exit_signals() are
always for the completion of job control.  The one in do_signal_stop()
may be delivered to the ptracer if PTRACE_ATTACH races with
notification and the one in exit_signals() if task exits while
ptraced.

In both cases, the notifications are meaningless and confusing to the
ptracer as it never accesses the group stop state while the real
parent would miss notifications for the events it is watching.

Make sure these notifications always go to the real parent by calling
do_notify_parent_cld_stop() with %false @for_ptrace.

408a37de6c job control: Don't set group_stop exit_code if re-entering job control stop
While ptraced, a task may be resumed while the containing process is
still job control stopped.  If the task receives another stop signal
in this state, it will still initiate group stop, which generates
group_exit_code, which the real parent would be able to see once the
ptracer detaches.

In this scenario, the real parent may see two consecutive CLD_STOPPED
events from two stop signals without intervening SIGCONT, which
normally is impossible.

Test case follows.

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <sys/ptrace.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>

  int main(void)
  {
	  pid_t tracee;

	  if (!fork()) {
		  ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
		  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status);

		  if (si.si_pid)
			  printf("st=%02d c=%02d\n", si.si_status, si.si_code);
	  }
	  return 0;
  }

Before the patch, the latter waitid() in polling mode reports the
second stopped event generated by the implied SIGSTOP of
PTRACE_ATTACH.

d79fdd6d96 ptrace: Clean transitions between TASK_STOPPED and TRACED
Currently, if the task is STOPPED on ptrace attach, it's left alone
and the state is silently changed to TRACED on the next ptrace call.
The behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called
before any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task
manipulates the state of another task directly.

With GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and
TRACED can be made clean.  The tracer can use the flag to tell the
tracee to retry stop on attach and detach.  On retry, the tracee will
enter the desired state in the correct way.  The lower 16bits of
task->group_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused
the last group stop.  This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as
the original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by
then.

As the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code
anytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it
can be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop().  This
is recorded in the lower 16bits of task->group_stop.

If a task is already stopped and there's no intervening SIGCONT, a
ptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should
always succeed even if the tracer doesn't wait(2) for attach
completion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be
TASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the
following request to fail with -ESRCH.

This intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait
for it to clear on its signal->wait_chldexit.  Completing the
transition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.

Note that the STOPPED -> RUNNING -> TRACED transition is still visible
to other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the
reverse transition is visible to all.  Please read the comments for
details.

Oleg:

* Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without
  proper bookkeeping.  Fixed by redoing bookkeeping on retry.

* Spotted that the transition is visible to userland in several
  different ways.  Most are fixed with GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING.  Unhandled
  corner case is documented.

* Pointed out not setting GROUP_STOP_SIGMASK on an already stopped
  task would result in more consistent behavior.

* Pointed out that calling ptrace_stop() from do_signal_stop() in
  TASK_STOPPED can race with group stop start logic and then confuse
  the TRAPPING wait in ptrace_check_attach().  ptrace_stop() is now
  called with TASK_RUNNING.

* Suggested using signal->wait_chldexit instead of bit wait.

* Spotted a race condition between TRACED transition and clearing of
  TRAPPING.

5224fa3660 ptrace: Make do_signal_stop() use ptrace_stop() if the task is being ptraced
A ptraced task would still stop at do_signal_stop() when it's stopping
for stop signals and do_signal_stop() behaves the same whether the
task is ptraced or not.  However, in addition to stopping,
ptrace_stop() also does ptrace specific stuff like calling
architecture specific callbacks, so this behavior makes the code more
fragile and difficult to understand.

This patch makes do_signal_stop() test whether the task is ptraced and
use ptrace_stop() if so.  This renders tracehook_notify_jctl() rather
pointless as the ptrace notification is now handled by ptrace_stop()
regardless of the return value from the tracehook.  It probably is a
good idea to update it.

This doesn't solve the whole problem as tasks already in stopped state
would stay in the regular stop when ptrace attached.  That part will
be handled by the next patch.

Oleg pointed out that this makes a userland-visible change.  Before,
SIGCONT would be able to wake up a task in group stop even if the task
is ptraced if the tracer hasn't issued another ptrace command
afterwards (as the next ptrace commands transitions the state into
TASK_TRACED which ignores SIGCONT wakeups).  With this and the next
patch, SIGCONT may race with the transition into TASK_TRACED and is
ignored if the tracee already entered TASK_TRACED.

Another userland visible change of this and the next patch is that the
ptracee's state would now be TASK_TRACED where it used to be
TASK_STOPPED, which is visible via fs/proc.

0ae8ce1c8c ptrace: Participate in group stop from ptrace_stop() iff the task is trapping for group stop
Currently, ptrace_stop() unconditionally participates in group stop
bookkeeping.  This is unnecessary and inaccurate.  Make it only
participate if the task is trapping for group stop - ie. if @why is
CLD_STOPPED.  As ptrace_stop() currently is not used when trapping for
group stop, this equals to disabling group stop participation from
ptrace_stop().

A visible behavior change is increased likelihood of delayed group
stop completion if the thread group contains one or more ptraced
tasks.

This is to preapre for further cleanup of the interaction between
group stop and ptrace.

39efa3ef3a signal: Use GROUP_STOP_PENDING to stop once for a single group stop
Currently task->signal->group_stop_count is used to decide whether to
stop for group stop.  However, if there is a task in the group which
is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by
ptrace would repeatedly stop for the same group stop until the group
stop is complete.

Conversely, if a ptraced task is in TASK_TRACED state, the debugger
won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to
the ptraced task in any other state.

This patch introduces GROUP_STOP_PENDING which tracks whether a task
is yet to stop for the group stop in progress.  The flag is set when a
group stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for
the group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should
participate in a group stop needs to be determined.  Note that now
tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop.

This results in the following behavior changes.

* For a single group stop, a ptracer would see at most one stop
  reported.

* A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the
  tracer would get the notification.  However, as a ptraced task could
  be in TASK_STOPPED state or any ptrace trap could consume group
  stop, the notification may still be missing.  These will be
  addressed with further patches.

* A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if
  the tracer let it continue with stop signal delivery.  Group stop
  code handles this correctly.

Oleg:

* Spotted that a task might skip signal check even when its
  GROUP_STOP_PENDING is set.  Fixed by updating
  recalc_sigpending_tsk() to check GROUP_STOP_PENDING instead of
  group_stop_count.

* Pointed out that task->group_stop should be cleared whenever
  task->signal->group_stop_count is cleared.  Fixed accordingly.

* Pointed out the behavior inconsistency between TASK_TRACED and
  RUNNING and the last behavior change.

e5c1902e92 signal: Fix premature completion of group stop when interfered by ptrace
task->signal->group_stop_count is used to track the progress of group
stop.  It's initialized to the number of tasks which need to stop for
group stop to finish and each stopping or trapping task decrements.
However, each task doesn't keep track of whether it decremented the
counter or not and if woken up before the group stop is complete and
stops again, it can decrement the counter multiple times.

Please consider the following example code.

 static void *worker(void *arg)
 {
	 while (1) ;
	 return NULL;
 }

 int main(void)
 {
	 pthread_t thread;
	 pid_t pid;
	 int i;

	 pid = fork();
	 if (!pid) {
		 for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
			 pthread_create(&thread, NULL, worker, NULL);
		 while (1) ;
		 return 0;
	 }

	 ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
	 while (1) {
		 waitid(P_PID, pid, NULL, WSTOPPED);
		 ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, NULL, (void *)(long)SIGSTOP);
	 }
	 return 0;
 }

The child creates five threads and the parent continuously traps the
first thread and whenever the child gets a signal, SIGSTOP is
delivered.  If an external process sends SIGSTOP to the child, all
other threads in the process should reliably stop.  However, due to
the above bug, the first thread will often end up consuming
group_stop_count multiple times and SIGSTOP often ends up stopping
none or part of the other four threads.

This patch adds a new field task->group_stop which is protected by
siglock and uses GROUP_STOP_CONSUME flag to track which task is still
to consume group_stop_count to fix this bug.

task_clear_group_stop_pending() and task_participate_group_stop() are
added to help manipulating group stop states.  As ptrace_stop() now
also uses task_participate_group_stop(), it will set
SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED if it completes a group stop.

There still are many issues regarding the interaction between group
stop and ptrace.  Patches to address them will follow.

- Oleg spotted duplicate GROUP_STOP_CONSUME.  Dropped.

c672af35d5 signal: Fix SIGCONT notification code
After a task receives SIGCONT, its parent is notified via SIGCHLD with
its siginfo describing what the notified event is.  If SIGCONT is
received while the child process is stopped, the code should be
CLD_CONTINUED.  If SIGCONT is recieved while the child process is in
the process of being stopped, it should be CLD_STOPPED.  Which code to
use is determined in prepare_signal() and recorded in signal->flags
using SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED|STOP flags.

get_signal_deliver() should test these flags and then notify
accoringly; however, it incorrectly tested SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED
instead of SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED, thus incorrectly notifying
CLD_CONTINUED if the signal is delivered before the task is wait(2)ed
and CLD_STOPPED if the state was fetched already.

Fix it by testing SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED.  While at it, uncompress the
?: test into if/else clause for better readability.

da48524eb2 Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal code
Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a
signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL.

Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to
send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it
from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a
SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values.

Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate
SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses
anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag.

So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative
value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out
there that might depend on using other si_code values.

a337fdac7a HWPOISON: Copy si_addr_lsb to user
The original hwpoison code added a new siginfo field si_addr_lsb to
pass the granuality of the fault address to user space. Unfortunately
this field was never copied to user space. Fix this here.

I added explicit checks for the MCEERR codes to avoid having
to patch all potential callers to initialize the field.

694f690d27 CRED: Fix RCU warning due to previous patch fixing __task_cred()'s checks
Commit 8f92054e7c ("CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner
comment") fixed the lockdep checks on __task_cred().  This has shown up
a place in the signalling code where a lock should be held - namely that
check_kill_permission() requires its callers to hold the RCU lock.

Fix group_send_sig_info() to get the RCU read lock around its call to
check_kill_permission().

Without this patch, the following warning can occur:

  ===================================================
  [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
  ---------------------------------------------------
  kernel/signal.c:660 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

09faef11df exit: change zap_other_threads() to count sub-threads
Change zap_other_threads() to return the number of other sub-threads found
on ->thread_group list.

Other changes are cosmetic:

	- change the code to use while_each_thread() helper

	- remove the obsolete comment about SIGKILL/SIGSTOP

065add3941 signals: check_kill_permission(): don't check creds if same_thread_group()
Andrew Tridgell reports that aio_read(SIGEV_SIGNAL) can fail if the
notification from the helper thread races with setresuid(), see
http://samba.org/~tridge/junkcode/aio_uid.c

This happens because check_kill_permission() doesn't permit sending a
signal to the task with the different cred->xids.  But there is not any
security reason to check ->cred's when the task sends a signal (private or
group-wide) to its sub-thread.  Whatever we do, any thread can bypass all
security checks and send SIGKILL to all threads, or it can block a signal
SIG and do kill(gettid(), SIG) to deliver this signal to another
sub-thread.  Not to mention that CLONE_THREAD implies CLONE_VM.

Change check_kill_permission() to avoid the credentials check when the
sender and the target are from the same thread group.

Also, move "cred = current_cred()" down to avoid calling get_current()
twice.

Note: David Howells pointed out we could relax this even more, the
CLONE_SIGHAND (without CLONE_THREAD) case probably does not need
these checks too.

Roland said:
: The glibc (libpthread) that does set*id across threads has
: been in use for a while (2.3.4?), probably in distro's using kernels as old
: or older than any active -stable streams.  In the race in question, this
: kernel bug is breaking valid POSIX application expectations.

78d7d407b6 kernel core: use helpers for rlimits
Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits.  E.g.  fetching them
twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are implemented.

I.e.  either use rlimit helpers added in commit 3e10e716ab ("resource:
add helpers for fetching rlimits") or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable.

a27341cd5f Prioritize synchronous signals over 'normal' signals
This makes sure that we pick the synchronous signals caused by a
processor fault over any pending regular asynchronous signals sent to
use by [t]kill().

This is not strictly required semantics, but it makes it _much_ easier
for programs like Wine that expect to find the fault information in the
signal stack.

Without this, if a non-synchronous signal gets picked first, the delayed
asynchronous signal will have its signal context pointing to the new
signal invocation, rather than the instruction that caused the SIGSEGV
or SIGBUS in the first place.

This is not all that pretty, and we're discussing making the synchronous
signals more explicit rather than have these kinds of implicit
preferences of SIGSEGV and friends.  See for example

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15395

for some of the discussion.  But in the meantime this is a simple and
fairly straightforward work-around, and the whole

	if (x & Y)
		x &= Y;

thing can be compiled into (and gcc does do it) just three instructions:

	movq    %rdx, %rax
	andl    $Y, %eax
	cmovne  %rax, %rdx

so it is at least a simple solution to a subtle issue.
