<content type='text'>
Add a helper that waits for a pid and stores the status in the passed in
kernel pointer.  Use it to fix the usage of kernel_wait4 in
call_usermodehelper_exec_sync that only happens to work due to the
implicit set_fs(KERNEL_DS) for kernel threads.

Both exec and exit want to ensure that the uaccess routines actually do
access user pointers.  Use the newly added force_uaccess_begin helper
instead of an open coded set_fs for that to prepare for kernel builds
where set_fs() does not exist.

Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman:
 "During the development of v5.7 I ran into bugs and quality of
  implementation issues related to exec that could not be easily fixed
  because of the way exec is implemented. So I have been diggin into
  exec and cleaning up what I can.

  This cycle I have been looking at different ideas and different
  implementations to see what is possible to improve exec, and cleaning
  the way exec interfaces with in kernel users. Only cleaning up the
  interfaces of exec with rest of the kernel has managed to stabalize
  and make it through review in time for v5.9-rc1 resulting in 2 sets of
  changes this cycle.

   - Implement kernel_execve

   - Make the user mode driver code a better citizen

  With kernel_execve the code size got a little larger as the copying of
  parameters from userspace and copying of parameters from userspace is
  now separate. The good news is kernel threads no longer need to play
  games with set_fs to use exec. Which when combined with the rest of
  Christophs set_fs changes should security bugs with set_fs much more
  difficult"

<title>treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage</title>

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

<title>seccomp: release filter after task is fully dead</title>

<id>3a15fb6ed92cb32b0a83f406aa4a96f28c9adbc3</id>
<content type='text'>
The seccomp filter used to be released in free_task() which is called
asynchronously via call_rcu() and assorted mechanisms. Since we need
to inform tasks waiting on the seccomp notifier when a filter goes empty
we will notify them as soon as a task has been marked fully dead in
release_task(). To not split seccomp cleanup into two parts, move
filter release out of free_task() and into release_task() after we've
unhashed struct task from struct pid, exited signals, and unlinked it
from the threadgroups' thread list. We'll put the empty filter
notification infrastructure into it in a follow up patch.

This also renames put_seccomp_filter() to seccomp_filter_release() which
is a more descriptive name of what we're doing here especially once
we've added the empty filter notification mechanism in there.

We're also NULL-ing the task's filter tree entrypoint which seems
cleaner than leaving a dangling pointer in there. Note that this shouldn't
need any memory barriers since we're calling this when the task is in
release_task() which means it's EXIT_DEAD. So it can't modify its seccomp
filters anymore. You can also see this from the point where we're calling
seccomp_filter_release(). It's after __exit_signal() and at this point,
tsk-&gt;sighand will already have been NULLed which is required for
thread-sync and filter installation alike.

The bpfilter code no longer uses the umd_info.cleanup callback.  This
callback is what exit_umh exists to call.  So remove exit_umh and all
of it's associated booking.

<title>exit: Factor thread_group_exited out of pidfd_poll</title>

Create an independent helper thread_group_exited which returns true
when all threads have passed exit_notify in do_exit.  AKA all of the
threads are at least zombies and might be dead or completely gone.

Create this helper by taking the logic out of pidfd_poll where it is
already tested, and adding a READ_ONCE on the read of
task-&gt;exit_state.

I will be changing the user mode driver code to use this same logic
to know when a user mode driver needs to be restarted.

Place the new helper thread_group_exited in kernel/exit.c and
EXPORT it so it can be used by modules.

<title>umd: Track user space drivers with struct pid</title>

Use struct pid instead of user space pid values that are prone to wrap
araound.

In addition track the entire thread group instead of just the first
thread that is started by exec.  There are no multi-threaded user mode
drivers today but there is nothing preclucing user drivers from being
multi-threaded, so it is just a good idea to track the entire process.

Take a reference count on the tgid's in question to make it possible
to remove exit_umh in a future change.

As a struct pid is available directly use kill_pid_info.

The prior process signalling code was iffy in using a userspace pid
known to be in the initial pid namespace and then looking up it's task
in whatever the current pid namespace is.  It worked only because
kernel threads always run in the initial pid namespace.

As the tgid is now refcounted verify the tgid is NULL at the start of
fork_usermode_driver to avoid the possibility of silent pid leaks.

This makes it clear which code is part of the core user mode
helper support and which code is needed to implement user mode
drivers.

This makes the kernel smaller for everyone who does not use a usermode
driver.
