Merge tag 'core-process-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd/waitid updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains two features and various tests.
First, it adds support for waiting on process through pidfds by adding
the P_PIDFD type to the waitid() syscall. This completes the basic
functionality of the pidfd api (cf. [1]). In the meantime we also have
a new adition to the userspace projects that make use of the pidfd
api. The qt project was nice enough to send a mail pointing out that
they have a pr up to switch to the pidfd api (cf. [2]).
Second, this tag contains an extension to the waitid() syscall to make
it possible to wait on the current process group in a race free manner
(even though the actual problem is very unlikely) by specifing 0
together with the P_PGID type. This extension traces back to a
discussion on the glibc development mailing list.
There are also a range of tests for the features above. Additionally,
the test-suite which detected the pidfd-polling race we fixed in [3]
is included in this tag"
