Commit Message

Anjali Kulkarni Oct. 23, 2024, 4:20 p.m. UTC
Add a new type PROC_CN_MCAST_NOTIFY to proc connector API, which allows a
thread to notify the kernel that is going to exit with a non-zero exit
code and specify the exit code in it. When thread exits in the kernel,
it will send this exit code as a proc filter notification to any
listening process.
Exiting thread can call this either when it wants to call pthread_exit()
with non-zero value or from signal handler.

Add a new file cn_hash.c which implements a hash table storing the exit
codes of abnormally exiting threads, received by the system call above.
The key used for the hash table is the pid of the thread, so when the
thread actually exits, we lookup it's pid in the hash table and retrieve
the exit code sent by user. If the exit code in struct task is 0, we
then replace it with the user supplied non-zero exit code.

cn_hash.c implements the hash table add, delete, lookup operations.
mutex_lock() and mutex_unlock() operations are used to safeguard the
integrity of the hash table while adding or deleting elements.
connector.c has the API calls, called from cn_proc.c, as well as calls
to allocate, initialize and free the hash table.

Add a new flag in PF_* flags of task_struct - EXIT_NOTIFY. This flag is
set when user sends the exit code via PROC_CN_MCAST_NOTIFY. While
exiting, this flag is checked and the hash table add or delete calls
are only made if this flag is set.

A refcount field hrefcnt is added in struct cn_hash_dev, to keep track
of number of threads which have added an entry in hash table. Before
freeing the struct cn_hash_dev, this value must be 0.
This refcnt check is added in case CONFIG_CONNECTOR is compiled as a
module. In that case, when unloading the module, we need to make sure
no hash entries are still present in the hdev table.

While we wait for someone who knows about process management to review
this - could you please split out the whitespace / checkpatch cleanup
changes to a separate commit? They make the change harder to review.
