Merge branch 'exit-cleanups-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman: "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 And Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build." * 'exit-cleanups-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (23 commits) soc: ti: fix wkup_m3_rproc_boot_thread return type signal: Add SA_IMMUTABLE to ensure forced siganls do not get changed signal: Replace force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) with force_fatal_sig(SIGSEGV) exit/r8188eu: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0 exit/rtl8712: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0 exit/rtl8723bs: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0 signal/x86: In emulate_vsyscall force a signal instead of calling do_exit signal/sparc32: In setup_rt_frame and setup_fram use force_fatal_sig signal/sparc32: Exit with a fatal signal when try_to_clear_window_buffer fails exit/syscall_user_dispatch: Send ordinary signals on failure signal: Implement force_fatal_sig exit/kthread: Have kernel threads return instead of calling do_exit signal/s390: Use force_sigsegv in default_trap_handler signal/vm86_32: Properly send SIGSEGV when the vm86 state cannot be saved. signal/vm86_32: Replace open coded BUG_ON with an actual BUG_ON signal/sparc: In setup_tsb_params convert open coded BUG into BUG signal/powerpc: On swapcontext failure force SIGSEGV signal/sh: Use force_sig(SIGKILL) instead of do_group_exit(SIGKILL) signal/mips: Update (_save|_restore)_fp_context to fail with -EFAULT signal/sparc32: Remove unreachable do_exit in do_sparc_fault ...

exit/kthread: Have kernel threads return instead of calling do_exit

2021-10-29T19:31:33Z

In 2009 Oleg reworked[1] the kernel threads so that it is not necessary to call do_exit if you are not using kthread_stop(). Remove the explicit calls of do_exit and complete_and_exit (with a NULL completion) that were previously necessary.

batman-adv: Drop NULL check before dropping references

batman-adv: Check ptr for NULL before reducing its refcnt

2021-08-08T18:21:40Z

The commit b37a46683739 ("netdevice: add the case if dev is NULL") changed the way how the NULL check for net_devices have to be handled when trying to reduce its reference counter. Before this commit, it was the responsibility of the caller to check whether the object is NULL or not. But it was changed to behave more like kfree. Now the callee has to handle the NULL-case. The batman-adv code was scanned via cocinelle for similar places. These were changed to use the paradigm @@ identifier E, T, R, C; identifier put; @@ void put(struct T *E) { + if (!E) + return; kref_put(&E->C, R); } Functions which were used in other sources files were moved to the header to allow the compiler to inline the NULL check and the kref_put call.

batman-adv: Fix names for kernel-doc blocks

2021-02-06T08:22:45Z

kernel-doc can only correctly identify the documented function or struct when the name in the first kernel-doc line references it. But some of the kernel-doc blocks referenced a different function/struct then it actually documented. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright info

2021-02-06T08:22:10Z

The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next) as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity regarding the publishing year. This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple "update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead. More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the SCM system. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Acked-by: Marek Lindner Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich
