Subject: sys_unshare: remove the dead CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM code
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Cleanup: kill the dead code which does nothing but complicates the code
and confuses the reader.
sys_unshare(CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM) is not really implemented, and I
doubt very much it will ever work. At least, nobody even tried since the
original 99d1419d96d7df9cfa56 ("unshare system call -v5: system call
handler function") was applied more than 4 years ago.
And the code is not consistent. unshare_thread() always fails
unconditionally, while unshare_sighand() and unshare_vm() pretend to work
if there is nothing to unshare.
Remove unshare_thread(), unshare_sighand(), unshare_vm() helpers and
related variables and add a simple CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_SIGHAND| CLONE_VM
check into check_unshare_flags().
Also, move the "CLONE_NEWNS needs CLONE_FS" check from
check_unshare_flags() to sys_unshare(). This looks more consistent and
matches the similar do_sysvsem check in sys_unshare().
Note: with or without this patch "atomic_read(mm->mm_users) > 1" can give
a false positive due to get_task_mm().
