Kees Cook 854fbd6e5f lib/syscall: Clear return values when no stack
Commit:

  aa1f1a6396 ("lib/syscall: Pin the task stack in collect_syscall()")

... added logic to handle a process stack not existing, but left sp and pc
uninitialized, which can be later reported via /proc/$pid/syscall for zombie
processes, potentially exposing kernel memory to userspace.

  Zombie /proc/$pid/syscall before:
  -1 0xffffffff9a060100 0xffff92f42d6ad900

  Zombie /proc/$pid/syscall after:
  -1 0x0 0x0

Ingo Molnar 68db0cf106 sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to <linux/sched/task_stack.h>
We are going to split <linux/sched/task_stack.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task_stack.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Andy Lutomirski aa1f1a6396 lib/syscall: Pin the task stack in collect_syscall()
This will avoid a potential read-after-free if collect_syscall()
(e.g. /proc/PID/syscall) is called on an exiting task.

Andrew Morton d300d59ca1 lib/syscall.c: unexport task_current_syscall()
It is only used by procfs and procfs cannot be a module.

Paul Gortmaker 8bc3bcc93a lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include.  Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

Roland McGrath bbc698636e task_current_syscall
This adds the new function task_current_syscall() on machines where the
asm/syscall.h interface is supported (CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK).  It's
exported for modules to use in the future.  This function safely samples
the state of a blocked thread to collect what system call it is blocked
in, and the six system call argument registers.
