Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix a memory ordering issue in posix-timers
Posix-timer lookup is lockless and reevaluates the timer validity
under the timer lock, but the update which validates the timer is not
protected by the timer lock. That allows the store to be reordered
against the initialization stores, so that the lookup side can
observe a partially initialized timer. That's mostly a theoretical
problem, but incorrect nevertheless.
- Fix a long standing inconsistency of the coarse time getters
The coarse time getters read the base time of the current update
cycle without reading the actual hardware clock. NTP frequency
adjustment can set the base time backwards. The fine grained
interfaces compensate this by reading the clock and applying the new
conversion factor, but the coarse grained time getters use the base
time directly. That allows the user to observe time going backwards.
Cure it by always forwarding base time, when NTP changes the
frequency with an immediate step.
- Rework of posix-timer hashing
The posix-timer hash is not scalable and due to the CRIU timer
restore mechanism prone to massive contention on the global hash
bucket lock.
Replace the global hash lock with a fine grained per bucket locking
scheme to address that.
- Rework the proc/$PID/timers interface.
/proc/$PID/timers is provided for CRIU to be able to restore a timer.
The printout happens with sighand lock held and interrupts disabled.
That's not required as this can be done with RCU protection as well.
- Provide a sane mechanism for CRIU to restore a timer ID
CRIU restores timers by creating and deleting them until the kernel
internal per process ID counter reached the requested ID. That's
horribly slow for sparse timer IDs.
Provide a prctl() which allows CRIU to restore a timer with a given
ID. When enabled the ID pointer is used as input pointer to read the
requested ID from user space. When disabled, the normal allocation
scheme (next ID) is active as before. This is backwards compatible
for both kernel and user space.
- Make hrtimer_update_function() less expensive.
The sanity checks are valuable, but expensive for high frequency
usage in io/uring. Make the debug checks conditional and enable them
only when lockdep is enabled.
- Small updates, cleanups and improvements

If a single-threaded process exits do_notify_pidfd() will be called twice,
from exit_notify() and right after that from do_notify_parent().
1. Change exit_notify() to call do_notify_pidfd() if the exiting task is
not ptraced and it is not a group leader.
2. Change do_notify_parent() to call do_notify_pidfd() unconditionally.
If tsk is not ptraced, do_notify_parent() will only be called when it
is a group-leader and thread_group_empty() is true.
This means that if tsk is ptraced, do_notify_pidfd() will be called from
do_notify_parent() even if tsk is a delay_group_leader(). But this case is
less common, and apart from the unnecessary __wake_up() is harmless.
Granted, this unnecessary __wake_up() can be avoided, but I don't want to
do it in this patch because it's just a consequence of another historical
oddity: we notify the tracer even if !thread_group_empty(), but do_wait()
from debugger can't work until all other threads exit. With or without this
patch we should either eliminate do_notify_parent() in this case, or change
do_wait(WEXITED) to untrace the ptraced delay_group_leader() at least when
ptrace_reparented().

polling
This is another attempt trying to make pidfd polling for multi-threaded
exec and premature thread-group leader exit consistent.
A quick recap of these two cases:
(1) During a multi-threaded exec by a subthread, i.e., non-thread-group
leader thread, all other threads in the thread-group including the
thread-group leader are killed and the struct pid of the
thread-group leader will be taken over by the subthread that called
exec. IOW, two tasks change their TIDs.
(2) A premature thread-group leader exit means that the thread-group
leader exited before all of the other subthreads in the thread-group
have exited.
Both cases lead to inconsistencies for pidfd polling with PIDFD_THREAD.
Any caller that holds a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd to the current thread-group
leader may or may not see an exit notification on the file descriptor
depending on when poll is performed. If the poll is performed before the
exec of the subthread has concluded an exit notification is generated
for the old thread-group leader. If the poll is performed after the exec
of the subthread has concluded no exit notification is generated for the
old thread-group leader.
The correct behavior would be to simply not generate an exit
notification on the struct pid of a subhthread exec because the struct
pid is taken over by the subthread and thus remains alive.
But this is difficult to handle because a thread-group may exit
prematurely as mentioned in (2). In that case an exit notification is
reliably generated but the subthreads may continue to run for an
indeterminate amount of time and thus also may exec at some point.
So far there was no way to distinguish between (1) and (2) internally.
This tiny series tries to address this problem by discarding
PIDFD_THREAD notification on premature thread-group leader exit.
If that works correctly then no exit notifications are generated for a
PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a thread-group leader until all subthreads have
been reaped. If a subthread should exec aftewards no exit notification
will be generated until that task exits or it creates subthreads and
repeates the cycle.

Clearing is an atomic op and the flag is not set most of the time.
When creating and destroying threads in the same process with the pthread
family, the primary bottleneck is calls to sigprocmask which take the
process-wide sighand lock.
Avoiding the atomic gives me a 2% bump in start/teardown rate at 24-core
scale.

sys_timer_delete() and the do_exit() cleanup function itimer_delete() are
doing the same thing, but have needlessly different implementations instead
of sharing the code.
The other oddity of timer deletion is the fact that the timer is not
invalidated before the actual deletion happens, which allows concurrent
lookups to succeed.
That's wrong because a timer which is in the process of being deleted
should not be visible and any actions like signal queueing, delivery and
rearming should not happen once the task, which invoked timer_delete(), has
the timer locked.
Rework the code so that:
1) The signal queueing and delivery code ignore timers which are marked
invalid
2) The deletion implementation between sys_timer_delete() and
itimer_delete() is shared
3) The timer is invalidated and removed from the linked lists before
the deletion callback of the relevant clock is invoked.
That requires to rework timer_wait_running() as it does a lookup of
the timer when relocking it at the end. In case of deletion this
lookup would fail due to the preceding invalidation and the wait loop
would terminate prematurely.
But due to the preceding invalidation the timer cannot be accessed by
other tasks anymore, so there is no way that the timer has been freed
after the timer lock has been dropped.
Move the re-validation out of timer_wait_running() and handle it at
the only other usage site, timer_settime().

It is useful to be able to utilise the pidfd mechanism to reference the
current thread or process (from a userland point of view - thread group
leader from the kernel's point of view).
Therefore introduce PIDFD_SELF_THREAD to refer to the current thread, and
PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP to refer to the current thread group leader.
For convenience and to avoid confusion from userland's perspective we alias
these:
* PIDFD_SELF is an alias for PIDFD_SELF_THREAD - This is nearly always what
the user will want to use, as they would find it surprising if for
instance fd's were unshared()'d and they wanted to invoke pidfd_getfd()
and that failed.
* PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS is an alias for PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP - Most users
have no concept of thread groups or what a thread group leader is, and
from userland's perspective and nomenclature this is what userland
considers to be a process.
We adjust pidfd_get_task() and the pidfd_send_signal() system call with
specific handling for this, implementing this functionality for
process_madvise(), process_mrelease() (albeit, using it here wouldn't
really make sense) and pidfd_send_signal().

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:

syzbot triggered the warning in posixtimer_send_sigqueue(), which warns
about a non-ignored signal being already queued on the ignored list.
The warning is actually bogus, as the following sequence causes this:
signal($SIG, SIGIGN);
timer_settime(...); // arm periodic timer
timer fires, signal is ignored and queued on ignored list
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, ...); // block the signal
timer_settime(...); // re-arm periodic timer
timer fires, signal is not ignored because it is blocked
---> Warning triggers as signal is on the ignored list
Ideally timer_settime() could remove the signal, but that's racy and
incomplete vs. other scenarios and requires a full reevaluation of the
pending signal list.
Instead of adding more complexity, handle it gracefully by removing the
warning and requeueing the signal to the pending list. That's correct
versus:
1) sig[timed]wait() as that does not check for SIGIGN and only relies on
dequeue_signal() -> posixtimers_deliver_signal() to check whether the
pending signal is still valid.
2) Unblocking of the signal.
- If the unblocking happens before SIGIGN is replaced by a signal
handler, then the timer is rearmed in dequeue_signal(), but
get_signal() will ignore it. The next timer expiry will move it back
to the ignored list.
- If SIGIGN was replaced before unblocking, then the signal will be
delivered and a subsequent expiry will queue a signal on the pending
list again.
There is a related scenario to trigger the complementary warning in the
signal ignored path, which does not expect the signal to be on the pending
list when it is ignored. That can be triggered even before the above change
via:
task1 task2
signal($SIG, SIGIGN);
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, ...);
timer_create(); // Signal target is task2
timer_settime(...); // arm periodic timer
timer fires, signal is not ignored because it is blocked
and queued on the pending list of task2
syscall()
// Sets the pending flag
sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, ...);
-> preemption, task2 cannot dequeue the signal
timer_settime(...); // re-arm periodic timer
timer fires, signal is ignored
---> Warning triggers as signal is on task2's pending list
and the thread group is not exiting
Consequently, remove that warning too and just keep the signal on the
pending list.
The following attempt to deliver the signal on return to user space of
task2 will ignore the signal and a subsequent expiry will bring it back to
the ignored list, if it did not get blocked or un-ignored before that.

A sigqueue belonging to a posix timer, which target is not a specific
thread but a whole thread group, is preferrably targeted to the current
task if it is part of that thread group.
However nothing prevents a posix timer event from queueing such a
sigqueue from a reaped yet running task. The interruptible code space
between exit_notify() and the final call to schedule() is enough for
posix_timer_fn() hrtimer to fire.
If that happens while the current task is part of the thread group
target, it is proposed to handle it but since its sighand pointer may
have been cleared already, the sigqueue is dropped even if there are
other tasks running within the group that could handle it.
As a result posix timers with thread group wide target may miss signals
when some of their threads are exiting.
Fix this with verifying that the current task hasn't been through
exit_notify() before proposing it as a preferred target so as to ensure
that its sighand is still here and stable.
complete_signal() might still reconsider the choice and find a better
target within the group if current has passed retarget_shared_pending()
already.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:
- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the
signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be
delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small
intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states
for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to
the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with
life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life
time rules.
Cure this by:
- Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same
life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of
the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a
always valid container_of() now.
- Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
- Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the
signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
- Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal
delivery code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they
are consistent across all situations. With that all self test
scenarios finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time
stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode
attributes are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that
the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
- Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
- Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline
functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper
defines.
- Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the
timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account.
Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail
to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
- Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions
and fix up stale documentation links all over the place
- Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP
clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as
that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the
various user space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file
descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited.
They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to
the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
straight forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
- Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
other clusters.
- Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

be enqueued. This situation can happen if the timer sigqueue is enqueued
but then the timer is reset afterwards and fires before the pending
signal managed to be delivered.
However when such a double enqueue occurs while the corresponding signal
is ignored, the sigqueue is expected to be found either on the dedicated
ignored list if the timer was periodic or dropped if the timer was
one-shot. In any case it is not supposed to be queued on the real signal
queue.
An assertion verifies the latter expectation on top of the return value
of prepare_signal(), assuming "false" means that the signal is being
ignored. But prepare_signal() may also fail if the target is exiting as
the last task of its group. In this case the double enqueue observes the
sigqueue queued, as in such a situation:
TASK A (same group as B) TASK B (same group as A)
------------------------ ------------------------
// timer event
// queue signal to TASK B
posix_timer_queue_signal()
// reset timer through syscall
do_timer_settime()
// exit, leaving task B alone
do_exit()
do_exit()
synchronize_group_exit()
signal->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
// ========> <IRQ> timer event
posix_timer_queue_signal()
// return false due to SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
if (!prepare_signal())
WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&q->list))
And this spuriously triggers this warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5854 at kernel/signal.c:2008 posixtimer_send_sigqueue
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 5854 Comm: syz-executor139 Not tainted 6.12.0-rc6-next-20241108-syzkaller #0

Fortunately the recovery code in that case already does the right thing:
just exit from posixtimer_send_sigqueue() and wait for __exit_signal()
to flush the pending signal. Just make sure to warn only the case when
the sigqueue is queued and the signal is really ignored.

Prior to commit d64696905554 ("Reimplement RLIMIT_SIGPENDING on top of
ucounts") UCOUNT_RLIMIT_SIGPENDING rlimit was not enforced for a class of
signals. However now it's enforced unconditionally, even if
override_rlimit is set. This behavior change caused production issues.
For example, if the limit is reached and a process receives a SIGSEGV
signal, sigqueue_alloc fails to allocate the necessary resources for the
signal delivery, preventing the signal from being delivered with siginfo.
This prevents the process from correctly identifying the fault address and
handling the error. From the user-space perspective, applications are
unaware that the limit has been reached and that the siginfo is
effectively 'corrupted'. This can lead to unpredictable behavior and
crashes, as we observed with java applications.
Fix this by passing override_rlimit into inc_rlimit_get_ucounts() and skip
the comparison to max there if override_rlimit is set. This effectively
restores the old behavior.

Queue posixtimers which have their signal ignored on the ignored list:
1) When the timer fires and the signal has SIG_IGN set
2) When SIG_IGN is installed via sigaction() and a timer signal
is already queued
This only happens when the signal is for a valid timer, which delivered the
signal in periodic mode. One-shot timer signals are correctly dropped.
Due to the lock order constraints (sighand::siglock nests inside
timer::lock) the signal code cannot access any of the timer fields which
are relevant to make this decision, e.g. timer::it_status.
This is addressed by establishing a protection scheme which requires to
lock both locks on the timer side for modifying decision fields in the
timer struct and therefore makes it possible for the signal delivery to
evaluate with only sighand:siglock being held:
1) Move the NULLification of timer->it_signal into the sighand::siglock
protected section of timer_delete() and check timer::it_signal in the
code path which determines whether the signal is dropped or queued on
the ignore list.
This ensures that a deleted timer cannot be moved onto the ignore
list, which would prevent it from being freed on exit() as it is not
longer in the process' posix timer list.
If the timer got moved to the ignored list before deletion then it is
removed from the ignored list under sighand lock in timer_delete().
2) Provide a new timer::it_sig_periodic flag, which gets set in the
signal queue path with both timer and sighand locks held if the timer
is actually in periodic mode at expiry time.
The ignore list code checks this flag under sighand::siglock and drops
the signal when it is not set.
If it is set, then the signal is moved to the ignored list independent
of the actual state of the timer.
When the signal is un-ignored later then the signal is moved back to
the signal queue. On signal delivery the posix timer side decides
about dropping the signal if the timer was re-armed, dis-armed or
deleted based on the signal sequence counter check.
If the thread/process exits then not yet delivered signals are
discarded which means the reference of the timer containing the
sigqueue is dropped and frees the timer.
This is way cheaper than requiring all code paths to lock
sighand::siglock of the target thread/process on any modification of
timer::it_status or going all the way and removing pending signals
from the signal queues on every rearm, disarm or delete operation.
So the protection scheme here is that on the timer side both timer::lock
and sighand::siglock have to be held for modifying
timer::it_signal
timer::it_sig_periodic
which means that on the signal side holding sighand::siglock is enough to
evaluate these fields.
In posixtimer_deliver_signal() holding timer::lock is sufficient to do the
sequence validation against timer::it_signal_seq because a concurrent
expiry is waiting on timer::lock to be released.
This completes the SIG_IGN handling and such timers are not longer self
rearmed which avoids pointless wakeups.

When a real handler (including SIG_DFL) is installed for a signal, which
had previously SIG_IGN set, then the list of ignored posix timers has to be
checked for timers which are affected by this change.
Add a list walk function which checks for the matching signal number and if
found requeues the timers signal, so the timer is rearmed on signal
delivery.
Rearming the timer right away is not possible because that requires to drop
sighand lock.
No functional change as the counter part which queues the timers on the
ignored list is still missing.

The posix timer signal handling uses siginfo::si_sys_private for handling
the sequence counter check. That indirection is not longer required and the
sequence count value at signal queueing time can be stored in struct
k_itimer itself.
This removes the requirement of treating siginfo::si_sys_private special as
it's now always zero as the kernel does not touch it anymore.

takes previous overruns into account. This is just wrong as after the
reprogramming of a timer the overrun count starts over from a clean state,
i.e. 0.

value at signal delivery time, which is computed from the timer itself

Signals of timers which are reprogammed, disarmed or deleted can deliver
signals related to the past. The POSIX spec is blury about this:
- "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration
notifications is unspecified."
- "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is
unspecified."
In both cases it is reasonable to expect that pending signals are
discarded. Especially in the reprogramming case it does not make sense to
account for previous overruns or to deliver a signal for a timer which has
been disarmed. This makes the behaviour consistent and understandable.
Remove the si_sys_private check from the signal delivery code and invoke
posix_timer_deliver_signal() unconditionally for posix timer related
signals.
Change posix_timer_deliver_signal() so it controls the actual signal
delivery via the return value. It now instructs the signal code to drop the
signal when:
1) The timer does not longer exist in the hash table
2) The timer signal_seq value is not the same as the si_sys_private value
which was set when the signal was queued.
This is also a preparatory change to embed the sigqueue into the k_itimer
structure, which in turn allows to remove the si_sys_private magic.

The si_sys_private member of the siginfo which is embedded in the
preallocated sigqueue is used by the posix timer code to decide whether a
timer must be reprogrammed on signal delivery.
The handling of this is racy as a long standing comment in that code
documents. It is modified with the timer lock held, but without sighand
lock being held. The actual signal delivery code checks for it under
sighand lock without holding the timer lock.

lock held. This is an intermediate change to address this issue.

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

Missing, failed, or corrupted core dumps might impede crash
investigations. To improve reliability of that process and consequently
the programs themselves, one needs to trace the path from producing
a core dumpfile to analyzing it. That path starts from the core dump file
written to the disk by the kernel or to the standard input of a user
mode helper program to which the kernel streams the coredump contents.
There are cases where the kernel will interrupt writing the core out or
produce a truncated/not-well-formed core dump without leaving a note.
Add logging for the core dump collection failure paths to be able to reason
what has gone wrong when the core dump is malformed or missing.

When that patch was added vhost_tasks did not handle SIGKILL and would
try to ignore/clear the signal and continue on until the device's close

drivers were converted to support SIGKILL by cleaning themselves up and

This initialization is incomplete and unnecessary, neither do_group_exit()
nor PF_USER_WORKER need ksig->info.

ksig->ka and ksig->info are not initialized if get_signal() returns 0 or
if the caller is PF_USER_WORKER.
Check signr != 0 before SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS and move the "out" label down.
The latter means that ksig->sig won't be initialized if a PF_USER_WORKER
thread gets a fatal signal but this is fine, PF_USER_WORKER's don't use
ksig. And there is nothing new, in this case ksig->ka and ksig-info are
not initialized anyway. Add a comment.

Patch series "get_signal: minor cleanups and fix".
Lets remove this clear_siginfo() right now. It is incomplete (and thus
looks confusing) and unnecessary. Also, PF_USER_WORKER's already don't
get a fully initialized ksig anyway.
This patch (of 3):
Cleanup and preparation for the next changes.
get_signal() uses signr or ksig->info.si_signo or ksig->sig in a chaotic
way, this looks confusing. Change it to always use signr.

Right now we determine the scope of the signal based on the type of
pidfd. There are use-cases where it's useful to override the scope of
the signal. For example in [1]. Add flags to determine the scope of the
signal:
(1) PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD: send signal to specific thread reference by @pidfd
(2) PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP: send signal to thread-group of @pidfd
(2) PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP: send signal to process-group of @pidfd
Since we now allow specifying PIDFD_SEND_PROCESS_GROUP for
pidfd_send_signal() to send signals to process groups we need to adjust
the check restricting si_code emulation by userspace to account for
PIDTYPE_PGID.

Turn kill_pid_info() into kill_pid_info_type(), this allows to pass any
pid_type to group_send_sig_info(), despite its name it should work fine
even if type = PIDTYPE_PID.
Change pidfd_send_signal() to use PIDTYPE_PID or PIDTYPE_TGID depending
on PIDFD_THREAD.
While at it kill another TODO comment in pidfd_show_fdinfo(). As Christian
expains fdinfo reports f_flags, userspace can already detect PIDFD_THREAD.

So that do_tkill() can use this helper too. This also simplifies
the next patch.
TODO: perhaps we can kill prepare_kill_siginfo() and change the
callers to use SEND_SIG_NOINFO, but this needs some changes in
__send_signal_locked() and TP_STORE_SIGINFO().
