      signal: Don't restart fork when signals come in. · c3ad2c3b

      report that a periodic signal received during fork can cause fork to
      continually restart preventing an application from making progress.
      
      The code was being overly pessimistic.  Fork needs to guarantee that a
      signal sent to multiple processes is logically delivered before the
      fork and just to the forking process or logically delivered after the
      fork to both the forking process and it's newly spawned child.  For
      signals like periodic timers that are always delivered to a single
      process fork can safely complete and let them appear to logically
      delivered after the fork().
      
      While examining this issue I also discovered that fork today will miss
      signals delivered to multiple processes during the fork and handled by
      another thread.  Similarly the current code will also miss blocked
      signals that are delivered to multiple process, as those signals will
      not appear pending during fork.

      fork: Have new threads join on-going signal group stops · 924de3b8
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      
      
      There are only two signals that are delivered to every member of a
      signal group: SIGSTOP and SIGKILL.  Signal delivery requires every
      signal appear to be delivered either before or after a clone syscall.
      SIGKILL terminates the clone so does not need to be considered.  Which
      leaves only SIGSTOP that needs to be considered when creating new
      threads.
      
      Today in the event of a group stop TIF_SIGPENDING will get set and the
      fork will restart ensuring the fork syscall participates in the group
      stop.
      
      A fork (especially of a process with a lot of memory) is one of the
      most expensive system so we really only want to restart a fork when
      necessary.
      
      It is easy so check to see if a SIGSTOP is ongoing and have the new
      thread join it immediate after the clone completes.  Making it appear
      the clone completed happened just before the SIGSTOP.
      
      The calculate_sigpending function will see the bits set in jobctl and
      set TIF_SIGPENDING to ensure the new task takes the slow path to userspace.
      
      V2: The call to task_join_group_stop was moved before the new task is
          added to the thread group list.  This should not matter as
          sighand->siglock is held over both the addition of the threads,
          the call to task_join_group_stop and do_signal_stop.  But the change
          is trivial and it is one less thing to worry about when reading
          the code.

      fork: Skip setting TIF_SIGPENDING in ptrace_init_task · 4390e9ea
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      
      
      The code in calculate_sigpending will now handle this so
      it is just redundant and possibly a little confusing
      to continue setting TIF_SIGPENDING in ptrace_init_task.

      signal: Add calculate_sigpending() · 088fe47c
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      
      
      Add a function calculate_sigpending to test to see if any signals are
      pending for a new task immediately following fork.  Signals have to
      happen either before or after fork.  Today our practice is to push
      all of the signals to before the fork, but that has the downside that
      frequent or periodic signals can make fork take much much longer than
      normal or prevent fork from completing entirely.
      
      So we need move signals that we can after the fork to prevent that.
      
      This updates the code to set TIF_SIGPENDING on a new task if there
      are signals or other activities that have moved so that they appear
      to happen after the fork.
      
      As the code today restarts if it sees any such activity this won't
      immediately have an effect, as there will be no reason for it
      to set TIF_SIGPENDING immediately after the fork.
      
      Adding calculate_sigpending means the code in fork can safely be
      changed to not always restart if a signal is pending.
      
      The new calculate_sigpending function sets sigpending if there
      are pending bits in jobctl, pending signals, the freezer needs
      to freeze the new task or the live kernel patching framework
      need the new thread to take the slow path to userspace.
      
      I have verified that setting TIF_SIGPENDING does make a new process
      take the slow path to userspace before it executes it's first userspace
      instruction.
      
      I have looked at the callers of signal_wake_up and the code paths
      setting TIF_SIGPENDING and I don't see anything else that needs to be
      handled.  The code probably doesn't need to set TIF_SIGPENDING for the
      kernel live patching as it uses a separate thread flag as well.  But
      at this point it seems safer reuse the recalc_sigpending logic and get
      the kernel live patching folks to sort out their story later.
      
      V2: I have moved the test into schedule_tail where siglock can
          be grabbed and recalc_sigpending can be reused directly.
          Further as the last action of setting up a new task this
          guarantees that TIF_SIGPENDING will be properly set in the
          new process.
      
          The helper calculate_sigpending takes the siglock and
          uncontitionally sets TIF_SIGPENDING and let's recalc_sigpending
          clear TIF_SIGPENDING if it is unnecessary.  This allows reusing
          the existing code and keeps maintenance of the conditions simple.
      
          Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>  suggested the movement
          and pointed out the need to take siglock if this code
          was going to be called while the new task is discoverable.

      fork: Unconditionally exit if a fatal signal is pending · 7673bf55
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      
      
      In practice this does not change anything as testing for fatal_signal_pending
      and exiting for with an error code duplicates the work of the next clause
      which recalculates pending signals and then exits fork if any are pending.
      In both cases the pending signal will trigger the slow path when existing
      to userspace, and the fatal signal will cause do_exit to be called.
      
      The advantage of making this a separate test is that it makes it clear
      processing the fatal signal will terminate the fork, and it allows the
      rest of the signal logic to be updated without fear that this important
      case will be lost.

      fork: Move and describe why the code examines PIDNS_ADDING · 4ca1d3ee
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      
      
      Normally this would be something that would be handled by handling
      signals that are sent to a group of processes but in this case the
      forking process is not a member of the group being signaled.  Thus
      special code is needed to prevent a race with pid namespaces exiting,
      and fork adding new processes within them.
      
      Move this test up before the signal restart just in case signals are
      also pending.  Fatal conditions should take presedence over restarts.

      Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
       "This contains some small RISC-V updates I'd like to target for 4.18.
      
        They are all fairly small this time. Here's a short summary, there's
        more info in the commits/merges:
      
         - a fix to __clear_user to respect the passed arguments.
      
         - enough support for the perf subsystem to work with RISC-V's ISA
           defined performance counters.
      
         - support for sparse and cleanups suggested by it.
      
         - support for R_RISCV_32 (a relocation, not the 32-bit ISA).
      
         - some MAINTAINERS cleanups.
      
         - the addition of CONFIG_HVC_RISCV_SBI to our defconfig, as it's
           always present.
      
        I've given these a simple build+boot test"
