      posix-cpu-timers: Stop disabling timers on mt-exec · b95e31c0
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      The reasons why the extra posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() invocation has been
      added are not entirely clear from the commit message.  Today all that
      posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() does is stop timers that are tracking the
      task from firing.  Every other operation on those timers is still allowed.
      
      The practical implication of this is posix_cpu_timer_del() which could
      not get the siglock after the thread group leader has exited (because
      sighand == NULL) would be able to run successfully because the timer
      was already dequeued.
      
      With that locking issue fixed there is no point in disabling all of the
      timers.  So remove this ``tempoary'' hack.

      posix-cpu-timers: Store a reference to a pid not a task · 55e8c8eb
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      posix cpu timers do not handle the death of a process well.
      
      This is most clearly seen when a multi-threaded process calls exec from a
      thread that is not the leader of the thread group.  The posix cpu timer code
      continues to pin the old thread group leader and is unable to find the
      siglock from there.
      
      This results in posix_cpu_timer_del being unable to delete a timer,
      posix_cpu_timer_set being unable to set a timer.  Further to compensate for
      the problems in posix_cpu_timer_del on a multi-threaded exec all timers
      that point at the multi-threaded task are stopped.
      
      The code for the timers fundamentally needs to check if the target
      process/thread is alive.  This needs an extra level of indirection. This
      level of indirection is already available in struct pid.
      
      So replace cpu.task with cpu.pid to get the needed extra layer of
      indirection.
      
      In addition to handling things more cleanly this reduces the amount of
      memory a timer can pin when a process exits and then is reaped from
      a task_struct to the vastly smaller struct pid.
