The function wait_task_zombie is defined to always returns the process not
thread exit status.  Unfortunately when process group exit support
was added to wait_task_zombie the WNOWAIT case was overlooked.

Usually tsk->exit_code and tsk->signal->group_exit_code will be in sync
so fixing this is bug probably has no effect in practice.  But fix
it anyway so that people aren't scratching their heads about why
the two code paths are different.

The comment about coredumps not reaching do_group_exit and the
corresponding BUG_ON are bogus.

What happens and has happened for years is that get_signal calls
do_coredump (which sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and group_exit_code) and
then do_group_exit passing the signal number.  Then do_group_exit
ignores the exit_code it is passed and uses signal->group_exit_code
from the coredump.

The comment and BUG_ON were correct when they were added during the
2.5 development cycle, but became obsolete and incorrect when
get_signal was changed to fall through to do_group_exit after
do_coredump in 2.6.10-rc2.

So remove the stale comment and BUG_ON

When I say remove I mean remove.  All profile_task_exit and
profile_munmap do is call a blocking notifier chain.  The helpers
profile_task_register and profile_task_unregister are not called
anywhere in the tree.  Which means this is all dead code.

So remove the dead code and make it easier to read do_exit.

This helper is misleading.  It tests for an ongoing exec as well as
the process having received a fatal signal.

Sometimes it is appropriate to treat an on-going exec differently than
a process that is shutting down due to a fatal signal.  In particular
taking the fast path out of exit_signals instead of retargeting
signals is not appropriate during exec, and not changing the the exit
code in do_group_exit during exec.

Removing the helper makes it more obvious what is going on as both
cases must be coded for explicitly.

While removing the helper fix the two cases where I have observed
using signal_group_exit resulted in the wrong result.

In exit_signals only test for SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT so that signals are
retargetted during an exec.

In do_group_exit use 0 as the exit code during an exec as de_thread
does not set group_exit_code.  As best as I can determine
group_exit_code has been is set to 0 most of the time during
de_thread.  During a thread group stop group_exit_code is set to the
stop signal and when the thread group receives SIGCONT group_exit_code
is reset to 0.

The only remaining user of group_exit_task is exec.  Rename the field
so that it is clear which part of the code uses it.

Update the comment above the definition of group_exec_task to document
how it is currently used.

With kernel threads on architectures that still have set_fs/get_fs
running as KERNEL_DS moving force_uaccess_begin does not appear safe.
Calling force_uaccess_begin is a noop on anything people care about.

Update the comment to explain why this code while looking like an
obvious candidate for moving to make_task_dead probably needs to
remain in do_exit until set_fs/get_fs are entirely removed from the
kernel.

Update complete_and_exit to call kthread_exit instead of do_exit.

Change the name to reflect this change in functionality.  All of the
users of complete_and_exit are causing the current kthread to exit so
this change makes it clear what is happening.

Move the implementation of kthread_complete_and_exit from
kernel/exit.c to to kernel/kthread.c.  As this function is kthread
specific it makes most sense to live with the kthread functions.

There are no functional change.

When the kernel detects it is oops or otherwise force killing a task
while it exits the code poorly attempts to permanently stop the task
from scheduling.

I say poorly because it is possible for a task in TASK_UINTERRUPTIBLE
to be woken up.

As it makes no sense for the task to continue call do_task_dead
instead which actually does the work and permanently removes the task
from the scheduler.  Guaranteeing the task will never be woken
up again.
