Even if a pid is recycled the handle # will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to # the processes they refer to. # # With the ability to use /proc/ fds as stable handles on struct # pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited # its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal # to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. # # With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious # example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of # process management - sending signals - to processes other than the # parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm # rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled # in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given # process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is # quite handy. # # There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems # management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested # and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is # suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on # most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for # the future once they are needed. # # This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not # caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic # functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via # a pidfd. # # Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should # cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then: # # https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/ # # The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting # the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility" # # * tag 'pidfd-v5.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: # selftests: add tests for pidfd_send_signal() # signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscall # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 a9dce6679d736cb3d612af39bab9f31f8db66f9b # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc64e_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.6 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux- ppc64e_defconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc64e_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.6 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux- :1478:2: warning: #warning syscall pidfd_send_signal not implemented [-Wcpp] :1481:2: warning: #warning syscall io_uring_setup not implemented [-Wcpp] :1484:2: warning: #warning syscall io_uring_enter not implemented [-Wcpp] :1487:2: warning: #warning syscall io_uring_register not implemented [-Wcpp] /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c: In function 'devkmsg_sysctl_set_loglvl': /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c:187:16: warning: 'old' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/kernel/trace/trace_dynevent.c: In function 'create_dyn_event': /kisskb/src/kernel/trace/trace_dynevent.c:89:5: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/proc/inode.c: In function 'proc_reg_open': /kisskb/src/include/linux/list.h:65:12: warning: 'pdeo' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/proc/inode.c:337:21: note: 'pdeo' was declared here /kisskb/src/net/bridge/br_netlink.c: In function 'br_afspec.isra.28': /kisskb/src/net/bridge/br_netlink.c:652:7: warning: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/udf/unicode.c: In function 'udf_name_conv_char': /kisskb/src/fs/udf/unicode.c:132:8: warning: 'c' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c: In function 'nfsd4_encode_components_esc': /kisskb/src/fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c:2076:9: warning: 'str' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c: In function 'univ8250_release_irq': /kisskb/src/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:247:18: warning: 'i' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:227:19: note: 'i' was declared here /kisskb/src/net/netfilter/nf_nat_masquerade.c:15:21: warning: 'masq_refcnt6' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] /kisskb/src/net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c: In function 'xs_read_stream.constprop.18': /kisskb/src/net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c:529:2: warning: 'read' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c:498:15: note: 'read' was declared here /kisskb/src/net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c:529:2: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c:499:10: note: 'ret' was declared here /kisskb/src/drivers/net/tun.c: In function 'tun_get_user': /kisskb/src/drivers/net/tun.c:1845:30: warning: 'copylen' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/drivers/net/tun.c:1755:46: warning: 'linear' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] WARNING: vmlinux.o (.PPC.EMB.apuinfo): unexpected non-allocatable section.
