Subject: fs/proc: do_task_stat: move thread_group_cputime_adjusted() outside of lock_task_sighand()
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 16:33:55 +0100

Patch series "fs/proc: do_task_stat: use sig->stats_".

do_task_stat() has the same problem as getrusage() had before "getrusage:
use sig->stats_lock rather than lock_task_sighand()": a hard lockup.  If
NR_CPUS threads call lock_task_sighand() at the same time and the process
has NR_THREADS, spin_lock_irq will spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS *
NR_THREADS) time.


This patch (of 3):

thread_group_cputime() does its own locking, we can safely shift
thread_group_cputime_adjusted() which does another for_each_thread loop
outside of ->siglock protected section.

Not only this removes for_each_thread() from the critical section with
irqs disabled, this removes another case when stats_lock is taken with
siglock held.  We want to remove this dependency, then we can change the
users of stats_lock to not disable irqs.
