Subject[GIT PULL] thread fixes v5.5-rc5
Date
Hi Linus,

Here are two fixes:

/* Summary */
- Panic earlier when global init exits to generate useable coredumps.
Currently, when global init and all threads in its thread-group have exited
we panic via:
do_exit()
-> exit_notify()
-> forget_original_parent()
-> find_child_reaper()
This makes it hard to extract a useable coredump for global init from a
kernel crashdump because by the time we panic exit_mm() will have already
released global init's mm. We now panic slightly earlier. This has been
a problem in certain environments such as Android.

- Fix a race in assigning and reading taskstats for thread-groups with more
than one thread.
This patch has been waiting for quite a while since people disagreed on what
the correct fix was at first.

/* Testing */
No build failures or warnings were observed.

/* Conflicts */
At the time of creating this PR no merge conflicts were known.
