Merge tag 'threads-v5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull thread management updates from Christian Brauner:

 - A pidfd's fdinfo file currently contains the field "Pid:\t<pid>"
   where <pid> is the pid of the process in the pid namespace of the
   procfs instance the fdinfo file for the pidfd was opened in.

   The fdinfo file has now gained a new "NSpid:\t<ns-pid1>[\t<ns-pid2>[...]]"
   field which lists the pids of the process in all child pid namespaces
   provided the pid namespace of the procfs instance it is looked up
   under has an ancestoral relationship with the pid namespace of the
   process. If it does not 0 will be shown and no further pid namespaces
   will be listed. Tests included. (Christian Kellner)

 - If the process the pidfd references has already exited, print -1 for
   the Pid and NSpid fields in the pidfd's fdinfo file. Tests included.
   (me)

 - Add CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND. This lets callers clear all signal handler
   that are not SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN at process creation time. This
   originated as a feature request from glibc to improve performance and
   elimate races in their posix_spawn() implementation. Tests included.
   (me)

 - Add support for choosing a specific pid for a process with clone3().
   This is the feature which was part of the thread update for v5.4 but
   after a discussion at LPC in Lisbon we decided to delay it for one
   more cycle in order to make the interface more generic. This has now
   done. It is now possible to choose a specific pid in a whole pid
   namespaces (sub)hierarchy instead of just one pid namespace. In order
   to choose a specific pid the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in all
   owning user namespaces of the target pid namespaces. Tests included.
   (Adrian Reber)

 - Test improvements and extensions. (Andrei Vagin, me)
