signal.h need a definition of struct task_struct

2011-05-20T01:22:20Z

This fixes these build errors on powerpc: In file included from arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c:18: include/linux/signal.h:239: error: 'struct task_struct' declared inside parameter list include/linux/signal.h:239: error: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want include/linux/signal.h:240: error: 'struct task_struct' declared inside parameter list .. Exposed by commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators"), which removed the include of from . Without that, linux/signal.h no longer accidentally got the declaration of 'struct task_struct'. Fix by properly declaring the struct, rather than introducing any new header file dependency.

signal: trivial, fix the "timespec declared inside parameter list" warning

2011-05-18T13:08:03Z

Fix the compile warning, do_sigtimedwait(struct timespec *) in signal.h needs the forward declaration of timespec. Reported-and-acked-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

signal: rename signandsets() to sigandnsets()

2011-04-28T11:01:39Z

As Tejun and Linus pointed out, "nand" is the wrong name for "x & ~y", it should be "andn". Rename signandsets() as suggested. Suggested-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: Tejun Heo

signal: introduce do_sigtimedwait() to factor out compat/native code

2011-04-28T11:01:38Z

Factor out the common code in sys_rt_sigtimedwait/compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait to the new helper, do_sigtimedwait(). Add the comment to document the extra tick we add to timespec_to_jiffies(ts), thanks to Linus who explained this to me. Perhaps it would be better to move compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait() into signal.c under CONFIG_COMPAT, then we can make do_sigtimedwait() static.

signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()

2011-04-28T11:01:37Z

In short, almost every changing of current->blocked is wrong, or at least can lead to the unexpected results. For example. Two threads T1 and T2, T1 sleeps in sigtimedwait/pause/etc. kill(tgid, SIG) can pick T2 for TIF_SIGPENDING. If T2 calls sigprocmask() and blocks SIG before it notices the pending signal, nobody else can handle this pending shared signal. I am not sure this is bug, but at least this looks strange imho. T1 should not sleep forever, there is a signal which should wake it up. This patch moves the code which actually changes ->blocked into the new helper, set_current_blocked() and changes this code to call retarget_shared_pending() as exit_signals() does. We should only care about the signals we just blocked, we use "newset & ~current->blocked" as a mask. We do not check !sigisemptyset(newblocked), retarget_shared_pending() is cheap unless mask & shared_pending. Note: for this particular case we could simply change sigprocmask() to return -EINTR if signal_pending(), but then we should change other callers and, more importantly, if we need this fix then set_current_blocked() will have more callers and some of them can't restart. See the next patch as a random example. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Reviewed-by: Matt Fleming Acked-by: Tejun Heo

sysctl extern cleanup: signal

2010-03-12T23:52:44Z

Extern declarations in sysctl.c should be moved to their own header file, and then include them in relavant .c files.

signals: introduce do_send_sig_info() helper

2009-09-24T14:21:01Z

Introduce do_send_sig_info() and convert group_send_sig_info(), send_sig_info(), do_send_specific() to use this helper. Hopefully it will have more users soon, it allows to specify specific/group behaviour via "bool group" argument. Shaves 80 bytes from .text.

signals: implement sys_rt_tgsigqueueinfo

2009-04-30T17:24:24Z

sys_kill has the per thread counterpart sys_tgkill. sigqueueinfo is missing a thread directed counterpart. Such an interface is important for migrating applications from other OSes which have the per thread delivery implemented.

kill_pid_info: don't take now unneeded tasklist_lock

2008-04-30T15:29:34Z

Previously handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT) could drop ->siglock. That is why kill_pid_info(SIGCONT) takes tasklist_lock to make sure the target task can't go away after unlock. Not needed now.
