Linus,
Please pull the exit-cleanups-for-v5.16 branch from the git tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git exit-cleanups-for-v5.16
HEAD: f91140e4553408cacd326624cd50fc367725e04a Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I
found several instances where the code is not using the existing
abstractions properly.
This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending
a signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the
misuse of the existing abstractions that I found.
A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such
as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by
hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or
calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).
In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp
where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was
found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that
makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and
allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp.
Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the wrong
prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build.
