commit 77f6ab8b7768cf5e6bdd0e72499270a0671506ee upstream.
Coredump logics needs to report not only the registers of the dumping
thread, but (since 2.5.43) those of other threads getting killed.
Doing that might require extra state saved on the stack in asm glue at
kernel entry; signal delivery logics does that (we need to be able to
save sigcontext there, at the very least) and so does seccomp.
That covers all callers of do_coredump(). Secondary threads get hit with
SIGKILL and caught as soon as they reach exit_mm(), which normally happens
in signal delivery, so those are also fine most of the time. Unfortunately,
it is possible to end up with secondary zapped when it has already entered
exit(2) (or, worse yet, is oopsing). In those cases we reach exit_mm()
when mm->core_state is already set, but the stack contents is not what
we would have in signal delivery.
At least on two architectures (alpha and m68k) it leads to infoleaks - we
end up with a chunk of kernel stack written into coredump, with the contents
consisting of normal C stack frames of the call chain leading to exit_mm()
instead of the expected copy of userland registers. In case of alpha we
leak 312 bytes of stack. Other architectures (including the regset-using
ones) might have similar problems - the normal user of regsets is ptrace
and the state of tracee at the time of such calls is special in the same
way signal delivery is.
Note that had the zapper gotten to the exiting thread slightly later,
it wouldn't have been included into coredump anyway - we skip the threads
that have already cleared their ->mm. So let's pretend that zapper always
loses the race. IOW, have exit_mm() only insert into the dumper list if
we'd gotten there from handling a fatal signal[*]
As the result, the callers of do_exit() that have *not* gone through get_signal()
are not seen by coredump logics as secondary threads. Which excludes voluntary
exit()/oopsen/traps/etc. The dumper thread itself is unaffected by that,
so seccomp is fine.
[*] originally I intended to add a new flag in tsk->flags, but ebiederman pointed
out that PF_SIGNALED is already doing just what we need.

[ Upstream commit 586b58cac8b4683eb58a1446fbc399de18974e40 ]
With CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y and CONFIG_CGROUPS=y, kernel oopses in
non-preemptible context look untidy; after the main oops, the kernel prints
a "sleeping function called from invalid context" report because
exit_signals() -> cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin() -> percpu_down_read()
can sleep, and that happens before the preempt_count_set(PREEMPT_ENABLED)
fixup.
It looks like the same thing applies to profile_task_exit() and
kcov_task_exit().
Fix it by moving the preemption fixup up and the calls to
profile_task_exit() and kcov_task_exit() down.
