This patch removes unneeded sig->curr_target recalculation under 'if (atomic_dec_and_test(&sig->count))' in __exit_signal(). When sig->count == 0 the signal can't be sent to this task and next_thread(tsk) == tsk anyway.

2006-01-08[PATCH] sigaction should clear all signals on SIG_IGN, not just < 32George Anzinger
While rooting aroung in the signal code trying to understand how to fix the SIG_IGN ploy (set sig handler to SIG_IGN and flood system with high speed repeating timers) I came across what, I think, is a problem in sigaction() in that when processing a SIG_IGN request it flushes signals from 1 to SIGRTMIN and leaves the rest. Attempt to fix this.

2005-10-30[PATCH] ptrace/coredump/exit_group deadlockAndrea Arcangeli
I could seldom reproduce a deadlock with a task not killable in T state (TASK_STOPPED, not TASK_TRACED) by attaching a NPTL threaded program to gdb, by segfaulting the task and triggering a core dump while some other task is executing exit_group and while one task is in ptrace_attached TASK_STOPPED state (not TASK_TRACED yet). This originated from a gdb bugreport (the fact gdb was segfaulting the task wasn't a kernel bug), but I just incidentally noticed the gdb bug triggered a real kernel bug as well. Most threads hangs in exit_mm because the core_dumping is still going, the core dumping hangs because the stopped task doesn't exit, the stopped task can't wakeup because it has SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT set, hence the deadlock. To me it seems that the problem is that the force_sig_specific(SIGKILL) in zap_threads is a noop if the task has PF_PTRACED set (like in this case because gdb is attached). The __ptrace_unlink does nothing because the signal->flags is set to SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT|SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED (verified). The above info also shows that the stopped task hit a race and got the stop signal (presumably by the ptrace_attach, only the attach, state is still TASK_STOPPED and gdb hangs waiting the core before it can set it to TASK_TRACED) after one of the thread invoked the core dump (it's the core dump that sets signal->flags to SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT). So beside the fact nobody would wakeup the task in __ptrace_unlink (the state is _not_ TASK_TRACED), there's a secondary problem in the signal handling code, where a task should ignore the ptrace-sigstops as long as SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set (or the wakeup in __ptrace_unlink path wouldn't be enough). So I attempted to make this patch that seems to fix the problem. There were various ways to fix it, perhaps you prefer a different one, I just opted to the one that looked safer to me. I also removed the clearing of the stopped bits from the zap_other_threads (zap_other_threads was safe unlike zap_threads). I don't like useless code, this whole NPTL signal/ptrace thing is already unreadable enough and full of corner cases without confusing useless code into it to make it even less readable. And if this code is really needed, then you may want to explain why it's not being done in the other paths that sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT at least. Even after this patch I still wonder who serializes the read of p->ptrace in zap_threads. Patch is called ptrace-core_dump-exit_group-deadlock-1.

2005-10-21[PATCH] Call exit_itimers from do_exit, not __exit_signalRoland McGrath
When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group dying, without races. Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work. This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.

2005-10-10[PATCH] Fix signal sending in usbdevio on async URB completionHarald Welte
If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above. This is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid afterwards. In fact, there are three separate issues: 1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device. 2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct, task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile. 3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed, and we can no longer send it a signal. So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.

2005-10-08[PATCH] fix do_coredump() vs SIGSTOP raceOleg Nesterov
Let's suppose we have 2 threads in thread group: A - does coredump B - has pending SIGSTOP thread A thread B do_coredump: get_signal_to_deliver: lock(->sighand) ->signal->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT unlock(->sighand) lock(->sighand) signr = dequeue_signal() ->signal->flags |= SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED return SIGSTOP; do_signal_stop: unlock(->sighand) coredump_wait: zap_threads: lock(tasklist_lock) send SIGKILL to B // signal_wake_up() does nothing unlock(tasklist_lock) lock(tasklist_lock) lock(->sighand) re-check sig->flags & SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, yes set_current_state(TASK_STOPPED); finish_stop: schedule(); // ->state == TASK_STOPPED wait_for_completion(&startup_done) // waits for complete() from B, // ->state == TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE We can't wake up 'B' in any way: SIGCONT will be ignored because handle_stop_signal() sees ->signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. sys_kill(SIGKILL)->__group_complete_signal() will choose uninterruptible 'A', so it can't help. sys_tkill(B, SIGKILL) will be ignored by specific_send_sig_info() because B already has pending SIGKILL. This scenario is not possbile if 'A' does do_group_exit(), because it sets sig->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and delivers SIGKILL to subthreads atomically, holding both tasklist_lock and sighand->lock. That means that do_signal_stop() will notice !SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED after re-locking ->sighand. And it is not possible to any other thread to re-add SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED later, because dequeue_signal() can only return SIGKILL. I think it is better to change do_coredump() to do sigaddset(SIGKILL) and signal_wake_up() under sighand->lock, but this patch is much simpler.

2005-09-07[PATCH] fix send_sigqueue() vs thread exit raceOleg Nesterov
posix_timer_event() first checks that the thread (SIGEV_THREAD_ID case) does not have PF_EXITING flag, then it calls send_sigqueue() which locks task list. But if the thread exits in between the kernel will oops (->sighand == NULL after __exit_sighand). This patch moves the PF_EXITING check into the send_sigqueue(), it must be done atomically under tasklist_lock. When send_sigqueue() detects exiting thread it returns -1. In that case posix_timer_event will send the signal to thread group. Also, this patch fixes task_struct use-after-free in posix_timer_event.

This bug is quite subtle and only happens in a very interesting situation where a real-time threaded process is in the middle of a coredump when someone whacks it with a SIGKILL. However, this deadlock leaves the system pretty hosed and you have to reboot to recover. Not good for real-time priority-preemption applications like our telephony application, with 90+ real-time (SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR) processes, many of them multi-threaded, interacting with each other for high volume call processing.

2005-05-06The attached patch addresses the problem with getting the audit daemon Steve Grubb
shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the shutdown. It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a manageable risk. The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information. When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks like this: type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650 uid=525, auditd pid=1685 Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2005-04-16[PATCH] kill #ifndef HAVE_ARCH_GET_SIGNAL_TO_DELIVER in signal.cChristoph Hellwig
Now that no architectures defines HAVE_ARCH_GET_SIGNAL_TO_DELIVER anymore this can go away. It was a transitional hack only. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
