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. Signed-off-by: N"Eric W.
