signal: Turn SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED into GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED
This patch moves SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED from signal_struct->flags to
task_struct->group_stop, and thus makes it per-thread.
Like SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can be false-positive
after return from get_signal_to_deliver(), this is fine. The only
purpose of this bit is: we can drop ->siglock after __dequeue_signal()
returns the sig_kernel_stop() signal and before we call
do_signal_stop(), in this case we must not miss SIGCONT if it comes in
between.
But, unlike SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can not be
false-positive in do_signal_stop() if multiple threads dequeue the
sig_kernel_stop() signal at the same time.
Consider two threads T1 and T2, SIGTTIN has a hanlder.
- T1 dequeues SIGTSTP and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, then
it drops ->siglock
- SIGCONT comes and clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, SIGTSTP
should be cancelled.
- T2 dequeues SIGTTIN and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED again.
Since we have a handler we should not stop, T2 returns
to usermode to run the handler.
- T1 continues, calls do_signal_stop() and wrongly starts
the group stop because SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED was restored
in between.
With or without this change:
- we need to do something with ptrace_signal() which can
return SIGSTOP, but this needs another discussion
- SIGSTOP can be lost if it races with the mt exec, will
be fixed later.
