Folks, If folks can look this over and see if I have missed something I would appreciate it. The force_sig_info interface is designed to handle synchronous exceptions like page faults. The locking in force_sig_info does not handle being called on a remote task that is already running. It has been a long standing problem over the years that it is not obvious to people that restriction exists or that force_sig is for exceptions and they call it somewhere inappropriate. A recently fixed example is 6376360ecbe5 ("mm: hwpoison: use do_send_sig_info() instead of force_sig()"). I was looking over the force_sig family of functions not long ago and realized that there really are not that many cases where they are called with on a process other than current and it is possible to remove the current parameter, which should make it hard to make this mistake naively. I found exactly two legitimate places where force_sig was being called on a non-current task. On mips force_fcr31_sig is called in switch_to on next the task that we are in the middle of making current. On parisc in user_enable_single_step on a task that is stopped in a SIGKILL safe way in ptrace. Both to my eyes appear to meet all of the criterion for being safe to call from force_sig. While reviewing that last ptrace case I found a funny corner case bug of PTRACE_KILL, and so that fix is included in this patset as well. Through "signal/cifs: Fix cifs_put_tcp_session to call send_sig instead of force_sig" the patches in this patchset are bug fixes. I don't think any of them are urgent as they have existed for a long time, but definitely worth fixes. The rest of the changes are cleanups that carefully remove the task parameters from the entire force_sig family of functions. Until at last force_sig_info only takes a struct siginfo. Eric W.
