Cleanup. __group_complete_signal() wakes up ->group_exit_task twice. The second wakeup's state includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, which is not very appropriate. Change the code to pass the "correct" argument to signal_wake_up() and kill now unneeded wake_up_process().

The "p->exit_signal == -1 && p->ptrace == 0" check and the comment are bogus. We already did exactly the same check in eligible_child(), we did not drop tasklist_lock since then, and both variables need write_lock(tasklist) to be changed.

Two threads, T1 and T2. T2 ptraces P, and P is not a child of ptracer's thread group. P exits and goes to TASK_ZOMBIE. T1 does wait_task_zombie(P): P->exit_state = TASK_DEAD; ... read_unlock(&tasklist_lock); T2 does exit(), takes tasklist, forget_original_parent() does __ptrace_unlink(P) but doesn't call do_notify_parent(P) because p->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD. Now, P is not visible to our process: __ptrace_unlink() removed it from ->children. We should send notification to P->parent and release P if and only if SIGCHLD is ignored. And we have 3 bugs: 1. P->parent does do_wait() and gets -ECHILD (P is on ->parent->children, but its state is TASK_DEAD). 2. // wait_task_zombie() continues if (put_user(...)) { // TODO: is this safe? p->exit_state = EXIT_ZOMBIE; return; } we return without notification/release, task_struct leaked. Solution: ignore -EFAULT and proceed. It is an application's bug if we can't fill infop/stat_addr (in case of VM_FAULT_OOM we have much more problems). 3. // wait_task_zombie() continues if (p->real_parent != p->parent) { // Not taken, it was untraced'ed ... } release_task(p); we released the task which we shouldn't. Solution: check ->real_parent != ->parent before, under tasklist_lock, but use ptrace_unlink() instead of __ptrace_unlink() to check ->ptrace. This patch hopefully solves 2 and 3, the 1st bug will be fixed later, we need some cleanups in forget_original_parent/reparent_thread. However, the first race is very unlikely and not critical, so I hope it makes sense to fix 1 and 2 for now. 4. Small cleanup: don't "restore" EXIT_ZOMBIE unless we know we are not going to realease the child.

This adds the linux/elfcore-compat.h header file, which is the CONFIG_COMPAT analog of the linux/elfcore.h header. Each arch that needs to fake out fs/binfmt_elf.c for its compat code can use this header to replace the hand-copied definitions of the compat variants of struct elf_prstatus et al. Only the pr_reg field varies by arch, so asm/{compat,elf}.h must define compat_elf_gregset_t before linux/elfcore-compat.h can be used. It's a clean-up that every arch with compat core dumping code can benefit from. I only touched the ones I have handy to test at home. Doing the same for each other arch should be straightforward, and I'm happy to offer tips.

The current code skips the check to verify whether the filesystem was previously cleanly unmounted, if (flags & UFS_ST_MASK) == UFS_ST_44BSD or UFS_ST_OLD. This looks like an inadvertent bug that slipped in due to parantheses in the compound conditional to me, especially given that ufs_get_fs_state() handles the UFS_ST_44BSD case perfectly well. So, let's fix the compound condition appropriately.

With or without this patch, multi-threaded init's are not fully supported, but do_exit() is completely wrong. This becomes a real problem when we support pid namespaces. 1. do_exit() panics when the main thread of /sbin/init exits. It should not until the whole thread group exits. Move the code below, under the "if (group_dead)" check. Note: this means that forget_original_parent() can use an already dead child_reaper()'s task_struct. This is OK for /sbin/init because - do_wait() from alive sub-thread still can reap a zombie, we iterate over all sub-thread's ->children lists - do_notify_parent() will wakeup some alive sub-thread because it sends the group-wide signal However, we should remove choose_new_parent()->BUG_ON(reaper->exit_state) for this. 2. We are playing games with ->nsproxy->pid_ns. This code is bogus today, and it has to be changed anyway when we really support pid namespaces, just remove it.

The Linux ELF loader is quite complicated and messy code (that could probably need a rewrite, but that's a different chapter). One particular messy part in it is the support for non ELF a.out ld.sos. This was originally added to make transition from a.out to ELF easier because an a.out ELF ld.so could be still build using an older a.out toolkit. But by now that should be fully obsolete and removing it would clean up binfmt_elf.c up a bit. I propose to deprecate this support and remove for 2.6.25. Drawback is that someone still runs their system with a.out ld.so they would need to update the ld.so when updating to a new kernel. This patch just adds an entry to the deprecation file and a printk warning users.

For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically: 1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core, at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and restrictions. 2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it is overridden to zero when called). 3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a deadlock. This patch: Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

This also fixes Solaris UFS filing system access by disabling fast symbolic links as Sun's version of UFS does not support on-disk fast symbolic links. Tested by: Ppartitioning a new disk using SunOS 4.1.1, creating a UFS filing system on one of the partitions and writing some files to the filing system. Using Linux-2.6.22 (patched) to read the files and then write a shed load of files to the UFS partition. Using SunOS 4.1.1 to verify the filing system is OK and to check the files.
