The changes below contain some cleanups and the work to make implement first class asynchronous task exit. Most of the cleanups are necessary for this work but a couple of them (removing profile_task_exit and the extra setting of PT_SEIZED in ptrace_attach) are included because I stumbled over them and they are worth applying but they aren't interesting enough to me to make be in their own patchset. The core of this set of changes is the addition of schedule_task_exit_locked. Ptrace is cleaned up to avoid a conflict in task->exit_code. Then the existing task exit code is gradually moved into the final shape of schedule_task_exit_locked. This is the fundamental building block I need to fix alpha, m68k, nios2 and any other architecture that does not always save all of their registers except when entering into a ptrace context. This is about half the work to allow coredump signals to use short-circuit delivery. With coredumps signals available for short-circuit delivery the SA_IMMUTABLE hack can be replace by something clean. The counting of the number of threads that have not been killed to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT when a process exits and the coredump signal short-circuit delivery is a foundation for updating the SECCOMP_RET_KILL_THREAD implementation such that it can decide if it should coredump without races. I have most of those changes pretty much ready I just need to get these changes finalized reviewed first. At this point they are looking at v5.18 material. These patches are on top of: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git/ signal-for-v5.17 After these patches have been reviewed it is my plan to apply them to my signal-for-v5.17 branch. Any and all feedback is welcome. Eric W.
