signals: fix /sbin/init protection from unwanted signals
The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal
signals.
- The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver()
protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal
signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread.
If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not
right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader),
this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have.
- Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this
is just wrong.
Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems. It also helps
to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches.
Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used
by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits.

Except: the target thread is dead (has PF_EXITING). But in that case we

kill the whole thread group, or silently ignore the signal.
I suspect we are not right wrt zombie leaders, but this is another issue which

stop if it was already started/finished, this check only adds a subtle side
effect if we race with the thread which has already dequeued sig_kernel_stop()

Based on Pavel Emelyanov's suggestion.
Rename __group_complete_signal() to complete_signal() and use it to process
the specific signals too. To do this we simply add the "int group" argument.
This allows us to greatly simply the signal-sending code and adds a useful
behaviour change. We can avoid the unneeded wakeups for the private signals
because wants_signal() is more clever than sigismember(blocked), but more
importantly we now take into account the fatal specific signals too.
The latter allows us to kill some subtle checks in handle_stop_signal() and
makes the specific/group signal's behaviour more consistent. For example,
currently sigtimedwait(FATAL_SIGNAL) behaves differently depending on was the
signal sent by kill() or tkill() if the signal was not blocked.
And. This allows us to tweak/fix the behaviour when the specific signal is
sent to the dying/dead ->group_leader.

signals: re-assign CLD_CONTINUED notification from the sender to reciever
Based on discussion with Jiri and Roland.
In short: currently handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT, p) sends the notification to
p->parent, with this patch p itself notifies its parent when it becomes
running.
handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT) has to drop ->siglock temporary in order to notify
the parent with do_notify_parent_cldstop(). This leads to multiple problems:
- as Jiri Kosina pointed out, the stopped task can resume without
actually seeing SIGCONT which may have a handler.
- we race with another sig_kernel_stop() signal which may come in
that window.
- we race with sig_fatal() signals which may set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
in that window.
- we can't avoid taking tasklist_lock() while sending SIGCONT.
With this patch handle_stop_signal() just sets the new SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED
flag in p->signal->flags and returns. The notification is sent by the first
task which returns from finish_stop() (there should be at least one) or any
other signalled thread from get_signal_to_deliver().
This is a user-visible change. Say, currently kill(SIGCONT, stopped_child)
can't return without seeing SIGCHLD, with this patch SIGCHLD can be delayed
unpredictably. Another difference is that if the child is ptraced by another
process, CLD_CONTINUED may be delivered to ->real_parent after ptrace_detach()
while currently it always goes to the tracer which doesn't actually need this
notification. Hopefully not a problem.
The patch asks for the futher obvious cleanups, I'll send them separately.

Every implementation of ->task_kill() does nothing when the signal comes from
the kernel. This is correct, but means that check_kill_permission() should
call security_task_kill() only for SI_FROMUSER() case, and we can remove the
same check from ->task_kill() implementations.
(sadly, check_kill_permission() is the last user of signal->session/__session

md: support blocking writes to an array on device failure
Allows a userspace metadata handler to take action upon detecting a device
failure.
Based on an original patch by Neil Brown.
Changes:
-added blocked_wait waitqueue to rdev
-don't qualify Blocked with Faulty always let userspace block writes
-added md_wait_for_blocked_rdev to wait for the block device to be clear, if
userspace misses the notification another one is sent every 5 seconds
-set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED after clearing "blocked"
-kill DoBlock flag, just test mddev->external

md: fix up switching md arrays between read-only and read-write
When setting an array to 'readonly' or to 'active' via sysfs, we must make the
appropriate set_disk_ro call too.
Also when switching to "read_auto" (which is like readonly, but blocks on the
first write so that metadata can be marked 'dirty') we need to be more careful
about what state we are changing from.

md: fix 'safemode' handling for external metadata.
'safemode' relates to marking an array as 'clean' if there has been no write
traffic for a while (a couple of seconds), to reduce the chance of the array
being found dirty on reboot.
->safemode is set to '1' when there have been no write for a while, and it
gets set to '0' when the superblock is updates with the 'clean' flag set.
This requires a few fixes for 'external' metadata:
- When an array is set to 'clean' via sysfs, 'safemode' must be cleared.
- when we write to an array that has 'safemode' set (there must have been
some delay in updating the metadata), we need to clear safemode.
- Don't try to update external metadata in md_check_recovery for safemode
transitions - it won't work.
Also, don't try to support "immediate safe mode" (safemode==2) for external
metadata, it cannot really work (the safemode timeout can be set very low if
this is really needed).

I keep finding problems where an mddev gets reused and some fields has a value
from a previous usage that confuses the new usage. So clear all fields that
could possible need clearing when calling do_md_stop.
Also initialise the 'level' of a new array to LEVEL_NONE (which isn't 0).

pxafb: introduce register independent LCD connection type for pxafb
Reasons:
1. straight forward: the name "LCD_COLOR_DSTN_16BPP" is much better
than "LCCR0_Pas | LCCR0_Color | LCCR0_Dual"
2. by defining LCD connection types as constants, it allows only
valid possibilities
3. by removing the dependency of register bits definitions, those
can be later moved into the body of pxafb.c, instead of having
a regs-lcd.h around
Currently, only lubbock, mainstone, zylonite and littleton have been
modified to support these types (see coming patches after this).
Other platforms are encouraged to change their way describing the
LCD controller connections.
