Subject: [PATCH v6 11/16] proc: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2020 21:27:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AM6PR03MB5170C4D177DD76E3C65E8033E4F50@AM6PR03MB5170.eurprd03.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <077b63b7-6f5e-aa8e-bf96-a586b481cc46@hotmail.de>

This changes lock_trace to use the new exec_update_mutex
instead of cred_guard_mutex.

This fixes possible deadlocks when the trace is accessing
/proc/$pid/stack for instance.

This should be safe, as the credentials are only used for reading,
and task->mm is updated on execve under the new exec_update_mutex.
