exit_notify() changes ->exit_signal if the parent already did exec.
This doesn't really work, we are not going to send the signal now
if there is another live thread or the exiting task is traced. The
parent can exec before the last dies or the tracer detaches.
Move this check into do_notify_parent() which actually sends the
signal.
The user-visible change is that we do not change ->exit_signal,
and thus the exiting task is still "clone children" for
do_wait()->eligible_child(__WCLONE). Hopefully this is fine, the
current logic is racy anyway.

exit_notify() checks "tsk->self_exec_id != tsk->parent_exec_id"
to handle the "we have changed execution domain" case.
We can change do_thread() to always set ->exit_signal = SIGCHLD
and remove this check to simplify the code.
We could change setup_new_exec() instead, this looks more logical
because it increments ->self_exec_id. But note that de_thread()
already resets ->exit_signal if it changes the leader, let's keep
both changes close to each other.
Note that we change ->exit_signal lockless, this changes the rules.
Thereafter ->exit_signal is not stable under tasklist but this is
fine, the only possible change is OLDSIG -> SIGCHLD. This can race
with eligible_child() but the race is harmless. We can race with
reparent_leader() which changes our ->exit_signal in parallel, but
it does the same change to SIGCHLD.
The noticeable user-visible change is that the execing task is not
"visible" to do_wait()->eligible_child(__WCLONE) right after exec.
To me this looks more logical, and this is consistent with mt case.

The child must not control its ->exit_signal, it is the parent who
decides which signal the child should use for notification.
This means that CLONE_PARENT should not use "clone_flags & CSIGNAL",
the forking task is the sibling of the new process and their parent
doesn't control exit_signal in this case.
This patch uses ->exit_signal of the forking process, but perhaps
we should simply use SIGCHLD.
We read group_leader->exit_signal lockless, this can race with the
ORIGINAL_SIGNAL -> SIGCHLD transition, but this is fine.
Potentially this change allows to kill self_exec_id/parent_exec_id.

While testing L2TP functionality, I came across a bug in getsockname(). The
IP address returned within the pppol2tp_addr's addr memember was not being
set to the IP address in use. This bug is caused by using inet_sk() on the
wrong socket (the L2TP socket rather than the underlying UDP socket), and was
likely introduced during the addition of L2TPv3 support.

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:
- New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs
with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)
This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
regular, function histogram centric profiles.
The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
looks like this in perf report:
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy
$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
52.34% [.] main [.] f1
24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3
23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2
0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul
0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
0.01% [k] main [k] __printf
This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken
branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls
and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
calls, traps, interrupts, etc.
This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
support in perf report.
- Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
improvements.
- Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:
perf top -p 21483,21485
perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
perf record -p 21483,21485
- Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.
- Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
generic facility:
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;
...
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
little impact to the likely code path as possible. the
static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.
This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
usage and fast/slow cost patterns.
- SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.
- Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
better, etc.
- Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
and a corner case bugfix.
- Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).
- Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.
- 'perf bench' improvements
- ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as
there were also lots of other improvements

Pull RCU changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar. The major features of this
series are:
- making RCU more aggressive about entering dyntick-idle mode in order
to improve energy efficiency
- converting a few more call_rcu()s to kfree_rcu()s
- applying a number of rcutree fixes and cleanups to rcutiny
- removing CONFIG_SMP #ifdefs from treercu
- allowing RCU CPU stall times to be set via sysfs
- adding CPU-stall capability to rcutorture
- adding more RCU-abuse diagnostics
- updating documentation
- fixing yet more issues located by the still-ongoing top-to-bottom
inspection of RCU, this time with a special focus on the CPU-hotplug
code path.
* 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (48 commits)
rcu: Stop spurious warnings from synchronize_sched_expedited

rcu: Allow nesting of rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit()
rcu: Remove redundant check for rcu_head misalignment
PTR_ERR should be called before its argument is cleared.
rcu: Convert WARN_ON_ONCE() in rcu_lock_acquire() to lockdep
rcu: Trace only after NULL-pointer check
rcu: Call out dangers of expedited RCU primitives

rcu: No interrupt disabling for rcu_prepare_for_idle()
rcu: Move synchronize_sched_expedited() to rcutree.c
rcu: Check for illegal use of RCU from offlined CPUs
rcu: Update stall-warning documentation
