Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "A lucky 13 audit patches for v5.1.

  Despite the rather large diffstat, most of the changes are from two
  bug fix patches that move code from one Kconfig option to another.

  Beyond that bit of churn, the remaining changes are largely cleanups
  and bug-fixes as we slowly march towards container auditing. It isn't
  all boring though, we do have a couple of new things: file
  capabilities v3 support, and expanded support for filtering on
  filesystems to solve problems with remote filesystems.

  All changes pass the audit-testsuite.  Please merge for v5.1"

* tag 'audit-pr-20190305' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit:
  audit: mark expected switch fall-through
  audit: hide auditsc_get_stamp and audit_serial prototypes
  audit: join tty records to their syscall
  audit: remove audit_context when CONFIG_ AUDIT and not AUDITSYSCALL
  audit: remove unused actx param from audit_rule_match
  audit: ignore fcaps on umount
  audit: clean up AUDITSYSCALL prototypes and stubs
  audit: more filter PATH records keyed on filesystem magic
  audit: add support for fcaps v3
  audit: move loginuid and sessionid from CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to CONFIG_AUDIT
  audit: add syscall information to CONFIG_CHANGE records
  audit: hand taken context to audit_kill_trees for syscall logging

<title>mm: replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.

All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code.  Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances.  This might also have replaced some
false positives.  I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.

1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"

This patch (of 2):

At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1.  Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there.  Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE.  This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

<title>sched/core: Convert task_struct.stack_refcount to refcount_t</title>

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:

 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable task_struct.stack_refcount is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

** Important note for maintainers:

Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c
have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic
counterparts.

The full comparison can be seen in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon
in state to be merged to the documentation tree.

Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides
enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in
some rare cases it might matter.

Please double check that you don't have some undocumented
memory guarantees for this variable usage.

For the task_struct.stack_refcount it might make a difference
in following places:

 - try_get_task_stack(): increment in refcount_inc_not_zero() only
   guarantees control dependency on success vs. fully ordered
   atomic counterpart
 - put_task_stack(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only
   provides RELEASE ordering and control dependency on success
   vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart

<title>signal: Don't restart fork when signals come in.</title>

<content type='text'>
Wen Yang &lt;wen.yang99@zte.com.cn&gt; and majiang &lt;ma.jiang@zte.com.cn&gt;
report that a periodic signal received during fork can cause fork to
continually restart preventing an application from making progress.

The code was being overly pessimistic.  Fork needs to guarantee that a
signal sent to multiple processes is logically delivered before the
fork and just to the forking process or logically delivered after the
fork to both the forking process and it's newly spawned child.  For
signals like periodic timers that are always delivered to a single
process fork can safely complete and let them appear to logically
delivered after the fork().

While examining this issue I also discovered that fork today will miss
signals delivered to multiple processes during the fork and handled by
another thread.  Similarly the current code will also miss blocked
signals that are delivered to multiple process, as those signals will
not appear pending during fork.

Add a list of each thread that is currently forking, and keep on that
list a signal set that records all of the signals sent to multiple
processes.  When fork completes initialize the new processes
shared_pending signal set with it.  The calculate_sigpending function
will see those signals and set TIF_SIGPENDING causing the new task to
take the slow path to userspace to handle those signals.  Making it
appear as if those signals were received immediately after the fork.

It is not possible to send real time signals to multiple processes and
exceptions don't go to multiple processes, which means that that are
no signals sent to multiple processes that require siginfo.  This
means it is safe to not bother collecting siginfo on signals sent
during fork.

The sigaction of a child of fork is initially the same as the
sigaction of the parent process.  So a signal the parent ignores the
child will also initially ignore.  Therefore it is safe to ignore
signals sent to multiple processes and ignored by the forking process.

Signals sent to only a single process or only a single thread and delivered
during fork are treated as if they are received after the fork, and generally
not dealt with.  They won't cause any problems.

V2: Added removal from the multiprocess list on failure.
V3: Use -ERESTARTNOINTR directly
V4: - Don't queue both SIGCONT and SIGSTOP
    - Initialize signal_struct.multiprocess in init_task
    - Move setting of shared_pending to before the new task
      is visible to signals.  This prevents signals from comming
      in before shared_pending.signal is set to delayed.signal
      and being lost.
V5: - rework list add and delete to account for idle threads
v6: - Use sigdelsetmask when removing stop signals

<id>urn:sha1:6883f81aac6f44e7df70a6af189b3689ff52cbfb</id>
<content type='text'>
Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and
a tasks tgid (thread group id).  Even in the enumeration we want that
distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID.  With leader_pid
we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct.

Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and
into the pids array.  Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the
leader_pid in signal_struct.

The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and
an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct.

The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special
cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as
PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest.  The long term potential
is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove
a lot more special cases in the code.

<title>pids: Move the pgrp and session pid pointers from task_struct to signal_struct</title>

To access these fields the code always has to go to group leader so
going to signal struct is no loss and is actually a fundamental simplification.

This saves a little bit of memory by only allocating the pid pointer array
once instead of once for every thread, and even better this removes a
few potential races caused by the fact that group_leader can be changed
by de_thread, while signal_struct can not.
