Any tests using < TASK_STOPPED or the like are left over from the time
when the TASK_ZOMBIE and TASK_DEAD bits were in the same word, and it
served to check for "stopped or dead". I think this one in
do_signal_stop is the only such case. It has been buggy ever since
exit_state was separated, and isn't testing the exit_state value.

Bhavesh P. Davda <bhavesh@avaya.com> noticed that SIGKILL wouldn't
properly kill a process under just the right cicumstances: a stopped
task that already had another signal queued would get the SIGKILL
queued onto the shared queue, and there it would remain until SIGCONT.
This simplifies the signal acceptance logic, and fixes the bug in the
process.
Losely based on an earlier patch by Bhavesh.

Use schedule_timeout_{,un}interruptible() instead of
set_current_state()/schedule_timeout() to reduce kernel size.

posix_timer_event() first checks that the thread (SIGEV_THREAD_ID case)
does not have PF_EXITING flag, then it calls send_sigqueue() which locks
task list. But if the thread exits in between the kernel will oops
(->sighand == NULL after __exit_sighand).
This patch moves the PF_EXITING check into the send_sigqueue(), it must be
done atomically under tasklist_lock. When send_sigqueue() detects exiting
thread it returns -1. In that case posix_timer_event will send the signal
to thread group.
Also, this patch fixes task_struct use-after-free in posix_timer_event.

This patch simplifies the usage of do_notify_parent_cldstop(), it lessens
the source and .text size slightly, and makes the code (in my opinion) a
bit more readable.
I am sending this patch now because I'm afraid Paul will touch
do_notify_parent_cldstop() really soon, It's better to cleanup first.

This bug is quite subtle and only happens in a very interesting
situation where a real-time threaded process is in the middle of a
coredump when someone whacks it with a SIGKILL. However, this deadlock
leaves the system pretty hosed and you have to reboot to recover.
Not good for real-time priority-preemption applications like our
telephony application, with 90+ real-time (SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR)
processes, many of them multi-threaded, interacting with each other for
high volume call processing.

1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:
frozen(process) Check for frozen process
freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen
freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
thaw_process(process) Restart process
frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now
2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
kernel sources except sched.h
3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
5. Some whitespace cleanup
6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
PF_FROZEN).
This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

This patch fixes recalc_sigpending() to work correctly with tasks which are
being freezed.
The problem is that freeze_processes() sets PF_FREEZE and TIF_SIGPENDING
flags on tasks, but recalc_sigpending() called from e.g.
sys_rt_sigtimedwait or any other kernel place will clear TIF_SIGPENDING due
to no pending signals queued and the tasks won't be freezed until it
recieves a real signal or freezed_processes() fail due to timeout.

If SIGKILL does not have priority, we cannot instantly kill task before it
makes some unexpected job. It can be critical, but we were unable to
reproduce this easily until Heiko Carstens <Heiko.Carstens@de.ibm.com>
reported this problem on LKML.

shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type
AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the
shutdown.
It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The
hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing
threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and
have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a
manageable risk.
The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it
receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information.
When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks
like this:
type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650
uid=525, auditd pid=1685

Convert most of the current code that uses _NSIG directly to instead use
valid_signal(). This avoids gcc -W warnings and off-by-one errors.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
