The struct pidfd_info currently exposes in a field called coredump_signal the
signal number (si_signo) that triggered the dump (for example, 11 for SIGSEGV).
However, it is also valuable to understand the reason why that signal was sent.
This additional context is provided by the signal code (si_code), such as 2 for
SEGV_ACCERR.
Add a new field to struct pidfd_info called coredump_code with the value of
si_code for the benefit of sysadmins who pipe core dumps to user-space programs
for later analysis. The following snippet illustrates a simplified C program
that consumes coredump_signal and coredump_code, and then logs core dump
signals and codes to a file:
int pidfd = (int)atoi(argv[1]);
struct pidfd_info info = {
.mask = PIDFD_INFO_EXIT | PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP,
};
if (ioctl(pidfd, PIDFD_GET_INFO, &info) == 0)
if (info.mask & PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP)
fprintf(f, "PID=%d, si_signo: %d si_code: %d\n",
info.pid, info.coredump_signal, info.coredump_code);
Assuming the program is installed under /usr/local/bin/core-logger, core dump
processing can be enabled by setting /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to
'|/usr/local/bin/dumpstuff %F'.
systemd-coredump(8) already uses pidfds to process core dumps, and it could be
extended to include the values of coredump_code too.

Commit 673a55cc49 replaced the null pointer dereference used in
crashing_child() with __builtin_trap to address the following LLVM warnings:
coredump_test_helpers.c:59:6: warning: indirection of non-volatile null pointer will be deleted, not trap [-Wnull-dereference]
coredump_test_helpers.c:59:6: note: consider using __builtin_trap() or qualifying pointer with 'volatile'
All coredump tests expect crashing_child() to result in a SIGSEGV. However, the
behavior of __builtin_trap is architecture-dependent. On x86 it yields SIGILL,
on aarch64 SIGTRAP. Given that neither of those signals are SIGSEGV, both
coredump_socket_test and coredump_socket_protocol_test are currently failing:
get_pidfd_info: mask=0xd7, coredump_mask=0x5, coredump_signal=5
socket_coredump_signal_sigsegv: coredump_signal=5, expected SIGSEGV=11
Qualify the pointer with volatile instead of calling __builtin_trap to fix the
tests.

Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
Add three new clone3() flags for pidfd-based process lifecycle
management.
=== CLONE_AUTOREAP ===
CLONE_AUTOREAP makes a child process auto-reap on exit without ever
becoming a zombie. This is a per-process property in contrast to the
existing auto-reap mechanism via SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN for SIGCHLD
which applies to all children of a given parent.
Currently the only way to automatically reap children is to set
SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN on SIGCHLD. This is a parent-scoped property
affecting all children which makes it unsuitable for libraries or
applications that need selective auto-reaping of specific children while
still being able to wait() on others.
CLONE_AUTOREAP stores an autoreap flag in the child's signal_struct.
When the child exits do_notify_parent() checks this flag and causes
exit_notify() to transition the task directly to EXIT_DEAD. Since the
flag lives on the child it survives reparenting: if the original parent
exits and the child is reparented to a subreaper or init the child still
auto-reaps when it eventually exits. This is cleaner than forcing the
subreaper to get SIGCHLD and then reaping it. If the parent doesn't care
the subreaper won't care. If there's a subreaper that would care it
would be easy enough to add a prctl() that either just turns back on
SIGCHLD and turns off auto-reaping or a prctl() that just notifies the
subreaper whenever a child is reparented to it.
CLONE_AUTOREAP can be combined with CLONE_PIDFD to allow the parent to
monitor the child's exit via poll() and retrieve exit status via
PIDFD_GET_INFO. Without CLONE_PIDFD it provides a fire-and-forget
pattern. No exit signal is delivered so exit_signal must be zero.
CLONE_THREAD and CLONE_PARENT are rejected: CLONE_THREAD because
autoreap is a process-level property, and CLONE_PARENT because an
autoreap child reparented via CLONE_PARENT could become an invisible
zombie under a parent that never calls wait().
The flag is not inherited by the autoreap process's own children. Each
child that should be autoreaped must be explicitly created with
CLONE_AUTOREAP.
=== CLONE_NNP ===
CLONE_NNP sets no_new_privs on the child at clone time. Unlike
prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS) which a process sets on itself, CLONE_NNP
allows the parent to impose no_new_privs on the child at creation
without affecting the parent's own privileges. CLONE_THREAD is rejected
because threads share credentials. CLONE_NNP is useful on its own for
any spawn-and-sandbox pattern but was specifically introduced to enable
unprivileged usage of CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL.
=== CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL ===
This flag ties a child's lifetime to the pidfd returned from clone3().
When the last reference to the struct file created by clone3() is closed
the kernel sends SIGKILL to the child. A pidfd obtained via pidfd_open()
for the same process does not keep the child alive and does not trigger
autokill - only the specific struct file from clone3() has this
property. This is useful for container runtimes, service managers, and
sandboxed subprocess execution - any scenario where the child must die
if the parent crashes or abandons the pidfd or just wants a throwaway
helper process.
CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL requires both CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_AUTOREAP. It
requires CLONE_PIDFD because the whole point is tying the child's
lifetime to the pidfd. It requires CLONE_AUTOREAP because a killed child
with no one to reap it would become a zombie - the primary use case is
the parent crashing or abandoning the pidfd so no one is around to call
waitpid(). CLONE_THREAD is rejected because autokill targets a process
not a thread.
If CLONE_NNP is specified together with CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL an
unprivileged user may spawn a process that is autokilled. The child
cannot escalate privileges via setuid/setgid exec after being spawned.
If CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL is specified without CLONE_NNP the caller must
have have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its user namespace.

Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL that ties a child's
lifetime to the pidfd returned from clone3(). When the last reference to
the struct file created by clone3() is closed the kernel sends SIGKILL
to the child. A pidfd obtained via pidfd_open() for the same process
does not keep the child alive and does not trigger autokill - only the
specific struct file from clone3() has this property.
This is useful for container runtimes, service managers, and sandboxed
subprocess execution - any scenario where the child must die if the

CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL requires both CLONE_PIDFD (the whole point is tying
lifetime to the pidfd file) and CLONE_AUTOREAP (a killed child with no
one to reap it would become a zombie). CLONE_THREAD is rejected because
autokill targets a process not a thread.
The clone3 pidfd is identified by the PIDFD_AUTOKILL file flag set on
the struct file at clone3() time. The pidfs .release handler checks this
flag and sends SIGKILL via do_send_sig_info(SIGKILL, SEND_SIG_PRIV, ...)
only when it is set. Files from pidfd_open() or open_by_handle_at() are
distinct struct files that do not carry this flag. dup()/fork() share the
same struct file so they extend the child's lifetime until the last
reference drops.
CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL uses a privilege model based on CLONE_NNP: without
CLONE_NNP the child could escalate privileges via setuid/setgid exec
after being spawned, so the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its user
namespace. With CLONE_NNP the child can never gain new privileges so
unprivileged usage is allowed. This is a deliberate departure from the
pdeath_signal model which is reset during secureexec and commit_creds()
rendering it useless for container runtimes that need to deprivilege
themselves.

Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_NNP that sets no_new_privs on the child
process at clone time. This is analogous to prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS)
but applied at process creation rather than requiring a separate step
after the child starts running.
CLONE_NNP is rejected with CLONE_THREAD. It's conceptually a lot simpler
if the whole thread-group is forced into NNP and not have single threads
running around with NNP.

but without signal->autoreap. This grandchild would become a zombie that
never sends a signal and is never autoreaped - confusing and arguably
broken behavior.
The flag is not inherited by the autoreap process's own children. Each
child that should be autoreaped must be explicitly created with
CLONE_AUTOREAP.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.
Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

Most simple allocations use GFP_KERNEL, and with the new allocation
helpers being introduced, let's just take advantage of that to simplify
that default case.
It's a numbers game:
git grep 'alloc_obj(' |
sed 's/.*\(GFP_[_A-Z]*\).*/\1/' |
sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
shows that about 90% of all those new allocator instances just use that
standard GFP_KERNEL.
Those helpers are already macros, and we can easily just make it be the
default case when the gfp argument is missing.
And yes, we could do that for all the legacy interfaces too, but let's
keep it to just the new ones at least for now, since those all got
converted recently anyway, so this is not any "extra" noise outside of
that limited conversion.
And, in fact, I want to do this before doing the -rc1 release, exactly
so that we don't get extra merge conflicts.

Commit 69050f8d6d ("treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for
non-scalar types") started using the new allocation helpers, and in the
process showed that they were completely non-working.
The overflow logic in overflows_flex_counter_type() is completely the
wrong way around, and that broke __alloc_flex() completely. By chance,
the resulting code was then such a mess that clang generated
sufficiently garbage code that objtool warned about it all. Which made
it somewhat quicker to narrow things down.
While fixing overflows_flex_counter_type() would presumably fix this
all, I'm excising the whole broken overflow logic from __alloc_flex(),
because we don't want that kind of code in basic allocation functions
anyway.
That (no longer) broken overflows_flex_counter_type() thing needs to be
inserted into the actual __set_flex_counter() logic in the unlikely case
that we ever want this at all. And made conditional.

The current debug documentation does not mention that logs are printed
to stdout unless DEBUG_FILE is set. It also doesn't mention that
Coccinelle cannot overwrite debug files.
Document this behaviour in the examples and reference it in the
debugging section.

coccicheck prints debug logs to stdout unless a debug file has been set.
This makes it hard to read coccinelle's suggested changes, especially
for someone new to coccicheck.
From this commit, we warn about this behaviour from within the script on
an unset debug file. Explicitly setting the debug file to /dev/null
suppresses the warning while keeping the default.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Unfortunately, there is a corner case of __builtin_counted_by_ref()
usage that crashes[1] Clang since support was introduced in Clang 19.
Disable it prior to Clang 22. Found while tested kmalloc_obj treewide
refactoring (via kmalloc_flex() usage).

After goto restart, optind retains its advanced position from the
previous getopt loop, causing getopt() to immediately return -1.
This silently drops all command-line options on the restarted skeleton.
Reset optind to 1 at the restart label so options are re-parsed.
Affected schedulers: scx_simple, scx_central, scx_flatcg, scx_pair,
scx_sdt, scx_cpu0.

The stats thread reads nr_vruntime_enqueues, nr_vruntime_dispatches,
nr_vruntime_failed, and nr_curr_enqueued concurrently with the main
thread writing them, with no synchronization.
Use __atomic builtins with relaxed ordering for all accesses to these
counters to eliminate the data races.
Only display accuracy is affected, not scheduling correctness.
