528f827ee0 coredump: introduce dump_interrupted()
By discussion with Mandeep.

Change dump_write(), dump_seek() and do_coredump() to check
signal_pending() and abort if it is true.  dump_seek() does this only
before f_op->llseek(), otherwise it relies on dump_write().

We need this change to ensure that the coredump won't delay suspend, and
to ensure it reacts to SIGKILL "quickly enough", a core dump can take a
lot of time.  In particular this can help oom-killer.

We add the new trivial helper, dump_interrupted() to add the comments and
to simplify the potential freezer changes.  Perhaps it will have more
callers.

Ideally it should do try_to_freeze() but then we need the unpleasant
changes in dump_write() and wait_for_dump_helpers().  It is not trivial to
change dump_write() to restart if f_op->write() fails because of
freezing().  We need to handle the short writes, we need to clear
TIF_SIGPENDING (and we can't rely on recalc_sigpending() unless we change
it to check PF_DUMPCORE).  And if the buggy f_op->write() sets
TIF_SIGPENDING we can not distinguish this case from the race with
freeze_task() + __thaw_task().

So we simply accept the fact that the freezer can truncate a core-dump but
at least you can reliably suspend.  Hopefully we can tolerate this
unlikely case and the necessary complications doesn't worth a trouble.
But if we decide to make the coredumping freezable later we can do this on
top of this change.

acdedd99b0 coredump: sanitize the setting of signal->group_exit_code
Now that the coredumping process can be SIGKILL'ed, the setting of
->group_exit_code in do_coredump() can race with complete_signal() and
SIGKILL or 0x80 can be "lost", or wait(status) can report status ==
SIGKILL | 0x80.

But the main problem is that it is not clear to me what should we do if
binfmt->core_dump() succeeds but SIGKILL was sent, that is why this patch
comes as a separate change.

This patch adds 0x80 if ->core_dump() succeeds and the process was not
killed.  But perhaps we can (should?) re-set ->group_exit_code changed by
SIGKILL back to "siginfo->si_signo |= 0x80" in case when core_dumped == T.

6cd8f0acae coredump: ensure that SIGKILL always kills the dumping thread
prepare_signal() blesses SIGKILL sent to the dumping process but this
signal can be "lost" anyway.  The problems is, complete_signal() sees
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and skips the "kill them all" logic.  And even if the
dumping process is single-threaded (so the target is always "correct"),
the group-wide SIGKILL is not recorded in task->pending and thus
__fatal_signal_pending() won't be true.  A multi-threaded case has even
more problems.

And even ignoring all technical details, SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT doesn't look
right to me.  This coredumping process is not exiting yet, it can do a lot
of work dumping the core.

With this patch the dumping process doesn't have SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, we set
signal->group_exit_task instead.  This makes signal_group_exit() true and
thus this should equally close the races with exit/exec/stop but allows to
kill the dumping thread reliably.

Notes:
	- It is not clear what should we do with ->group_exit_code
	  if the dumper was killed, see the next change.

	- we need more (hopefully straightforward) changes to ensure
	  that SIGKILL actually interrupts the coredump. Basically we
	  need to check __fatal_signal_pending() in dump_write() and
	  dump_seek().

403bad72b6 coredump: only SIGKILL should interrupt the coredumping task
There are 2 well known and ancient problems with coredump/signals, and a
lot of related bug reports:

- do_coredump() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but of course this can't help
  if, say, SIGCHLD comes after that.

  In this case the coredump can fail unexpectedly. See for example
  wait_for_dump_helper()->signal_pending() check but there are other
  reasons.

- At the same time, dumping a huge core on the slow media can take a
  lot of time/resources and there is no way to kill the coredumping
  task reliably. In particular this is not oom_kill-friendly.

This patch tries to fix the 1st problem, and makes the preparation for the
next changes.

We add the new SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP flag set by zap_threads() to indicate
that this process dumps the core.  prepare_signal() checks this flag and
nacks any signal except SIGKILL.

Note that this check tries to be conservative, in the long term we should
probably treat the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case equally but this needs more
discussion.  See marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120508897917439

Notes:
	- recalc_sigpending() doesn't check SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP.
	  The patch assumes that dump_write/etc paths should never
	  call it, but we can change it as well.

	- There is another source of TIF_SIGPENDING, freezer. This
	  will be addressed separately.

907ed1328d usermodehelper: split remaining calls to call_usermodehelper_fns()
These are the only users of call_usermodehelper_fns().  This function
suffers from not being able to determine if the cleanup is called.  Even
if in this places the cleanup pointer is NULL, convert them to use the
separate call_usermodehelper_setup() + call_usermodehelper_exec()
functions so we can remove the _fns variant.

45525b26a4 fix a leak in replace_fd() users
replace_fd() began with "eats a reference, tries to insert into
descriptor table" semantics; at some point I'd switched it to
much saner current behaviour ("try to insert into descriptor
table, grabbing a new reference if inserted; caller should do
fput() in any case"), but forgot to update the callers.
Mea culpa...

5ab1c309b3 coredump: pass siginfo_t* to do_coredump() and below, not merely signr
This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.

With this patch we pass "siginfo_t *siginfo" instead of "int signr" to
do_coredump() and put it into coredump_params.  It will be used by the
next patch.  Most changes are simple s/signr/siginfo->si_signo/.

12a2b4b224 coredump: add support for %d=__get_dumpable() in core name
Some coredump handlers want to create a core file in a way compatible with
standard behavior.  Standard behavior with fs.suid_dumpable = 2 is to
create core file with uid=gid=0.  However, there was no way for coredump
handler to know that the process being dumped was suid'ed.

This patch adds the new %d specifier for format_corename() which simply
reports __get_dumpable(mm->flags), this is compatible with
/proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable we already have.
