kthread: Never put_user the set_child_tid address
Kernel threads abuse set_child_tid. Historically that has been fine as set_child_tid was initialized after the kernel thread had been forked. Unfortunately storing struct kthread in set_child_tid after the thread is running makes struct kthread being unusable for storing result codes of the thread. When set_child_tid is set to struct kthread during fork that results in schedule_tail writing the thread id to the beggining of struct kthread (if put_user does not realize it is a kernel address). Solve this by skipping the put_user for all kthreads. Reported-by: NNathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YcNsG0Lp94V13whH@archlinux-ax161Signed-off-by: N"Eric W.
