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/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/nds32le-linux/bin/nds32le-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/nds32le-linux/bin/nds32le-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 a9dce6679d736cb3d612af39bab9f31f8db66f9b # < make -s -j 120 ARCH=nds32 O=/kisskb/build/linus_nds32-allyesconfig_nds32le CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/nds32le-linux/bin/nds32le-linux- allyesconfig # make -s -j 120 ARCH=nds32 O=/kisskb/build/linus_nds32-allyesconfig_nds32le CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/nds32le-linux/bin/nds32le-linux- /kisskb/src/mm/mprotect.c: In function 'change_pte_range': /kisskb/src/mm/mprotect.c:42:20: warning: unused variable 'mm' [-Wunused-variable] struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm; ^~ In file included from /kisskb/src/include/linux/printk.h:7, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:15, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/fs_context.h:15, from /kisskb/src/fs/fs_parser.c:13: /kisskb/src/fs/fs_parser.c: In function 'fs_validate_description': /kisskb/src/include/linux/kern_levels.h:5:18: warning: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'int' [-Wformat=] #define KERN_SOH "\001" /* ASCII Start Of Header */ ^~~~~~ /kisskb/src/include/linux/kern_levels.h:11:18: note: in expansion of macro 'KERN_SOH' #define KERN_ERR KERN_SOH "3" /* error conditions */ ^~~~~~~~ /kisskb/src/include/linux/printk.h:302:9: note: in expansion of macro 'KERN_ERR' printk(KERN_ERR pr_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__) ^~~~~~~~ /kisskb/src/fs/fs_parser.c:413:6: note: in expansion of macro 'pr_err' pr_err("VALIDATE %s: e[%lu] enum val for %s\n", ^~~~~~ /kisskb/src/fs/fs_parser.c:413:31: note: format string is defined here pr_err("VALIDATE %s: e[%lu] enum val for %s\n", ~~^ %u /kisskb/src/drivers/input/joystick/analog.c:172:2: warning: #warning Precise timer not defined for this architecture.
