While the dest comm string size is assured to be at least TASK_COMM_LEN long,
doing a memcpy() also adds the assumption that the source is at least that
long as well, which isn't assured, and isn't true in cases such as:

	set_task_comm(worker-&gt;task, "kworker/dying");

This leads to accessing invalid memory.

<title>exec: kill bprm-&gt;tcomm[], simplify the "basename" logic</title>

Starting from commit c4ad8f98bef7 ("execve: use 'struct filename *' for
executable name passing") bprm-&gt;filename can not go away after
flush_old_exec(), so we do not need to save the binary name in
bprm-&gt;tcomm[] added by 96e02d158678 ("exec: fix use-after-free bug in
setup_new_exec()").

And there was never need for filename_to_taskname-like code, we can
simply do set_task_comm(kbasename(filename).

This patch has to change set_task_comm() and trace_task_rename() to
accept "const char *", but I think this change is also good.

<title>mm, oom: change type of oom_score_adj to short</title>

The maximum oom_score_adj is 1000 and the minimum oom_score_adj is -1000,
so this range can be represented by the signed short type with no
functional change.  The extra space this frees up in struct signal_struct
will be used for per-thread oom kill flags in the next patch.

<title>tracepoint: add tracepoints for debugging oom_score_adj</title>

oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer.  One of
problem is that it's inherited at fork().  When a daemon set oom_score_adj
and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set.

This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds
3 trace points.
  - creating new task
  - renaming a task (exec)
  - set oom_score_adj

To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as

# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" &gt; $EVENT/task_newtask/filter
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" &gt; $EVENT/task_rename/filter
# echo 1 &gt; $EVENT/enable
# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/
# echo 1 &gt; $EVENT/enable

output will be like this.
# grep oom /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
