[PATCH net-next 3/3] connector/cn_proc: Selftest for threads

[Anjali Kulkarni <anjali.k.kulkarni@oracle.com>]

Test to check if setting PROC_CN_MCAST_NOTIFY in proc connector API, allows
a thread's non-zero exit status to be returned to proc_filter.

The threads.c program creates 2 child threads. 1st thread handles signal
SIGSEGV, and 2nd thread needs to indicate some error condition (value 1)
to the kernel, instead of using pthread_exit() with 1.

In both cases, child sends notify_netlink_thread_exit(exit_code) to kernel,
to let kernel know it has exited abnormally with exit_code.

Compile:
    make thread
    make proc_filter
To see non-zero exit notifications, run:
    ./proc_filter -f
Run threads code in another window:
    ./threads
Note the 2 child thread IDs reported above
Send SIGSEGV signal to the child handling SIGSEGV:
    kill -11 <child1-tid>
Watch the child 1 tid being notified with exit code 11 to proc_filter
Watch child 2 tid being notified with exit code 1 (value defined in code)
to proc_filter

+ * This code tests a thread exit notification when thread exits abnormally.
+ * Normally, when a thread exits abnormally, the kernel is not aware of the
+ * exit code. This is usually only conveyed from child to parent via the
+ * pthread_exit() and pthread_join() calls. Sometimes, however, a parent
+ * process cannot monitor all child processes via pthread_join(), particularly
+ * when there is a huge amount of child processes. In this case, the parent
+ * has created the child with PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED attribute.
+ * To fix this problem, either when child wants to convey non-zero exit via
+ * pthread_exit() or in a signal handler, the child can notify the kernel's
+ * connector module it's exit status via a netlink call with new type
+ * PROC_CN_MCAST_NOTIFY. (Implemented in the thread_filter.c file).
+ * This will send the exit code from the child to the kernel, which the kernel
+ * can later return to proc_filter program when the child actually exits.
+ * To test this usecase:
+ * Compile:
+ *	make thread
+ *	make proc_filter
+ * To see non-zero exit notifications, run:
+ *	./proc_filter -f
+ * Start the threads code, creating 2 threads, in another window:

+ * Watch the event being notified with exit code 11 to proc_filter
