Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

<content type='text'>
As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.

The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.

The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:

force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
-&gt;
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

The ptrace_break function is always called with tsk == current.
Make that obvious by removing the tsk parameter.

This also makes it clear that ptrace_break calls force_sig_fault
on the current task.

<title>signal: Ensure every siginfo we send has all bits initialized</title>
<updated>2018-04-25T15:40:51Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=3eb0f5193b497083391aa05d35210d5645211eef'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3eb0f5193b497083391aa05d35210d5645211eef</id>
<content type='text'>
Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.

Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.

The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.

In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.

Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

<title>signal/ptrace: Add force_sig_ptrace_errno_trap and use it where needed</title>

<content type='text'>
There are so many places that build struct siginfo by hand that at
least one of them is bound to get it wrong.  A handful of cases in the
kernel arguably did just that when using the errno field of siginfo to
pass no errno values to userspace.  The usage is limited to a single
si_code so at least does not mess up anything else.

Encapsulate this questionable pattern in a helper function so
that the userspace ABI is preserved.

Update all of the places that use this pattern to use the new helper
function.

<title>sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt;</title>

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.
