[ Upstream commit b69f0aeb068980af983d399deafc7477cec8bc04 ]

For pid namespaces, struct pid uses a dynamically sized array member,
"numbers".  This was implemented using the ancient 1-element fake
flexible array, which has been deprecated for decades.

Replace it with a C99 flexible array, refactor the array size
calculations to use struct_size(), and address elements via indexes.
Note that the static initializer (which defines a single element) works
as-is, and requires no special handling.

Without this, CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (and potentially
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE) will trigger bounds checks:

[ Upstream commit 7fea700e04bd3f424c2d836e98425782f97b494e ]

kernel_wait4() doesn't sleep and returns -EINTR if there is no
eligible child and signal_pending() is true.

That is why zap_pid_ns_processes() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but this is not
enough, it should also clear TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL to make signal_pending()
return false and avoid a busy-wait loop.

[ Upstream commit 28319d6dc5e2ffefa452c2377dd0f71621b5bff0 ]

RCU Tasks and PID-namespace unshare can interact in do_exit() in a
complicated circular dependency:

1) TASK A calls unshare(CLONE_NEWPID), this creates a new PID namespace
   that every subsequent child of TASK A will belong to. But TASK A
   doesn't itself belong to that new PID namespace.

2) TASK A forks() and creates TASK B. TASK A stays attached to its PID
   namespace (let's say PID_NS1) and TASK B is the first task belonging
   to the new PID namespace created by unshare()  (let's call it PID_NS2).

3) Since TASK B is the first task attached to PID_NS2, it becomes the
   PID_NS2 child reaper.

4) TASK A forks() again and creates TASK C which get attached to PID_NS2.
   Note how TASK C has TASK A as a parent (belonging to PID_NS1) but has
   TASK B (belonging to PID_NS2) as a pid_namespace child_reaper.

5) TASK B exits and since it is the child reaper for PID_NS2, it has to
   kill all other tasks attached to PID_NS2, and wait for all of them to
   die before getting reaped itself (zap_pid_ns_process()).

6) TASK A calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() which leads to
   synchronize_srcu(&amp;tasks_rcu_exit_srcu).

7) TASK B is waiting for TASK C to get reaped. But TASK B is under a
   tasks_rcu_exit_srcu SRCU critical section (exit_notify() is between
   exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()), blocking TASK A.

8) TASK C exits and since TASK A is its parent, it waits for it to reap
   TASK C, but it can't because TASK A waits for TASK B that waits for
   TASK C.

Pid_namespace semantics can hardly be changed at this point. But the
coverage of tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be reduced instead.

The current task is assumed not to be concurrently reapable at this
stage of exit_notify() and therefore tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be
temporarily relaxed without breaking its constraints, providing a way
out of the deadlock scenario.

Container admin can create new namespaces and force kernel to allocate up
to several pages of memory for the namespaces and its associated
structures.

Net and uts namespaces have enabled accounting for such allocations.  It
makes sense to account for rest ones to restrict the host's memory
consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.

<title>memcg: enable accounting for pids in nested pid namespaces</title>

Commit 5d097056c9a0 ("kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg")
enabled memcg accounting for pids allocated from init_pid_ns.pid_cachep,
but forgot to adjust the setting for nested pid namespaces.  As a result,
pid memory is not accounted exactly where it is really needed, inside
memcg-limited containers with their own pid namespaces.

Pid was one the first kernel objects enabled for memcg accounting.
init_pid_ns.pid_cachep marked by SLAB_ACCOUNT and we can expect that any
new pids in the system are memcg-accounted.

Though recently I've noticed that it is wrong.  nested pid namespaces
creates own slab caches for pid objects, nested pids have increased size
because contain id both for all parent and for own pid namespaces.  The
problem is that these slab caches are _NOT_ marked by SLAB_ACCOUNT, as a
result any pids allocated in nested pid namespaces are not
memcg-accounted.

Pid struct in nested pid namespace consumes up to 500 bytes memory, 100000
such objects gives us up to ~50Mb unaccounted memory, this allow container
to exceed assigned memcg limits.

Pull misc fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains several fixes which felt worth being combined into a
  single branch:

   - Use put_nsproxy() instead of open-coding it switch_task_namespaces()

   - Kirill's work to unify lifecycle management for all namespaces. The
     lifetime counters are used identically for all namespaces types.
     Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and
     these are not altered. This work allows us to unify the type of the
     counters and reduces maintenance cost by moving the counter in one
     place and indicating that basic lifetime management is identical
     for all namespaces.

   - Peilin's fix adding three byte padding to Dmitry's
     PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO uapi struct to prevent an info leak.

   - Two smal patches to convert from the /* fall through */ comment
     annotation to the fallthrough keyword annotation which I had taken
     into my branch and into -next before df561f6688fe ("treewide: Use
     fallthrough pseudo-keyword") made it upstream which fixed this
     tree-wide.

     Since I didn't want to invalidate all testing for other commits I
     didn't rebase and kept them"

<id>urn:sha1:8eb71d95f34a009cc22084e05e78eb9686f7ea28</id>
<content type='text'>
Switch over pid namespaces to use the newly introduced common lifetime
counter.

Currently every namespace type has its own lifetime counter which is stored
in the specific namespace struct. The lifetime counters are used
identically for all namespaces types. Namespaces may of course have
additional unrelated counters and these are not altered.

This introduces a common lifetime counter into struct ns_common. The
ns_common struct encompasses information that all namespaces share. That
should include the lifetime counter since its common for all of them.

It also allows us to unify the type of the counters across all namespaces.
Most of them use refcount_t but one uses atomic_t and at least one uses
kref. Especially the last one doesn't make much sense since it's just a
wrapper around refcount_t since 2016 and actually complicates cleanup
operations by having to use container_of() to cast the correct namespace
struct out of struct ns_common.

Having the lifetime counter for the namespaces in one place reduces
maintenance cost. Not just because after switching all namespaces over we
will have removed more code than we added but also because the logic is
more easily understandable and we indicate to the user that the basic
lifetime requirements for all namespaces are currently identical.
