From 32bd671d6cbeda60dc73be77fa2b9037d9a9bfa0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 12:24:15 +0100 Subject: signal: re-add dead task accumulation stats. We're going to split the process wide cpu accounting into two parts: - clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run from user context. - timers; which need constant time tracing but can affort the overhead because they're default off -- and rare. The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, for this we need to re-add the exit stats that were removed in the initial itimer rework (f06febc9: timers: fix itimer/many thread hang). Furthermore, since that full sum can be rather slow for large thread groups and we have the complete dead task stats, revert the do_notify_parent time computation.

It is because in copy_process() after checking max_threads, 0 is returned but not -EAGAIN. The bug is introduced by "CRED: Detach the credentials from task_struct" (commit f1752eec6145c97163dbce62d17cf5d928e28a27).

This was added by "x86, bts: add fork and exit handling", commit bf53de907dfdaac178c92d774aae7370d7b97d20. I can't test this, ds_request_bts() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, but I strongly believe this needs the fix. I think something like this program int main(void) { int pid = fork(); if (!pid) { ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, NULL, NULL); kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); fork(); } else { struct ptrace_bts_config bts = { .flags = PTRACE_BTS_O_ALLOC, .size = 4 * 4096, }; wait(NULL); ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, NULL, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK); ptrace(PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG, pid, &bts, sizeof(bts)); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, NULL, NULL); sleep(1); } return 0; } should crash the kernel. If the task is traced by its natural parent ptrace_reparented() returns 0 but we should clear ->btsxxx anyway.
