ptrace: revert "Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpoints"

2013-07-09T17:33:26Z

This reverts commit bf26c018490c ("Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpoints"). The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after commit 9899d11f6544 ("ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL"), the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and ->ptrace_bps[] can't go away. Now that ptrace_get_breakpoints/ptrace_put_breakpoints have no callers, we can kill them and remove task->ptrace_bp_refcnt.

move exit_task_namespaces() outside of exit_notify()

2013-06-15T01:39:08Z

exit_notify() does exit_task_namespaces() after forget_original_parent(). This was needed to ensure that ->nsproxy can't be cleared prematurely, an exiting child we are going to reparent can do do_notify_parent() and use the parent's (ours) pid_ns. However, after 32084504 "pidns: use task_active_pid_ns in do_notify_parent" ->nsproxy != NULL is no longer needed, we rely on task_active_pid_ns(). Move exit_task_namespaces() from exit_notify() to do_exit(), after exit_fs() and before exit_task_work(). This solves the problem reported by Andrey, free_ipc_ns()->shm_destroy() does fput() which needs task_work_add(). Note: this particular problem can be fixed if we change fput(), and that change makes sense anyway. But there is another reason to move the callsite. The original reason for exit_task_namespaces() from the middle of exit_notify() was subtle and it has already gone away, now this looks confusing. And this allows us do simplify exit_notify(), we can avoid unlock/lock(tasklist) and we can use ->exit_state instead of PF_EXITING in forget_original_parent().

lockdep: remove task argument from debug_check_no_locks_held

2013-05-12T12:16:21Z

The only existing caller to debug_check_no_locks_held calls it with 'current' as the task, and the freezer needs to call debug_check_no_locks_held but doesn't already have a current task pointer, so remove the argument. It is already assuming that the current task is relevant by dumping the current stack trace as part of the warning. This was originally part of 6aa9707099c (lockdep: check that no locks held at freeze time) which was reverted in dbf520a9d7d4.
