Merged 'Infrastructure to allow fixing exec deadlocks' from Bernd Edlinger
This is an infrastructure change that makes way for fixing this issue. Each patch was already posted previously so this is just a cleanup of the original mailing list thread(s) which got out of control by now. Everything started here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/AM6PR03MB5170B06F3A2B75EFB98D071AE4E60@AM6PR03MB5170.eurprd03.prod.outlook.com/ I added reviewed-by tags from the mailing list threads, except when withdrawn. It took a lot longer than expected to collect everything from the mailinglist threads, since several commit messages have been infected with typos, and they got fixed without a new patch version. - Correct the point of no return. - Add two new mutexes to replace cred_guard_mutex. - Fix each use of cred_guard_mutex. - Update documentation. - Add a test case. -- EWB Removed the last 2 patches they need more work Bernd Edlinger (9): exec: Fix a deadlock in strace selftests/ptrace: add test cases for dead-locks mm: docs: Fix a comment in process_vm_rw_core kernel: doc: remove outdated comment cred.c kernel/kcmp.c: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve proc: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve proc: io_accounting: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve perf: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve pidfd: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve Eric W.
