Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] exec: Add a exec_update_mutex to replace
cred_guard_mutex
The cred_guard_mutex is problematic. The cred_guard_mutex is held
over the userspace accesses as the arguments from userspace are read.
The cred_guard_mutex is held of PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT as the the other
threads are killed. The cred_guard_mutex is held over
"put_user(0, tsk->clear_child_tid)" in exit_mm().
Any of those can result in deadlock, as the cred_guard_mutex is held
over a possible indefinite userspace waits for userspace.
Add exec_update_mutex that is only held over exec updating process
with the new contents of exec, so that code that needs not to be
confused by exec changing the mm and the cred in ways that can not
happen during ordinary execution of a process.
The plan is to switch the users of cred_guard_mutex to
exec_udpate_mutex one by one. This lets us move forward while still
being careful and not introducing any regressions.
