Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.coredump' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull pidfd and coredump updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Expose coredump signal via pidfd

     Expose the signal that caused the coredump through the pidfd
     interface. The recent changes to rework coredump handling to rely
     on unix sockets are in the process of being used in systemd. The
     previous systemd coredump container interface requires the coredump
     file descriptor and basic information including the signal number
     to be sent to the container. This means the signal number needs to
     be available before sending the coredump to the container.

   - Add supported_mask field to pidfd

     Add a new supported_mask field to struct pidfd_info that indicates
     which information fields are supported by the running kernel. This
     allows userspace to detect feature availability without relying on
     error codes or kernel version checks.

  Cleanups:

   - Drop struct pidfs_exit_info and prepare to drop exit_info pointer,
     simplifying the internal publication mechanism for exit and
     coredump information retrievable via the pidfd ioctl

   - Use guard() for task_lock in pidfs

   - Reduce wait_pidfd lock scope

   - Add missing PIDFD_INFO_SIZE_VER1 constant

   - Add missing BUILD_BUG_ON() assert on struct pidfd_info

  Fixes:

   - Fix PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP handling

  Selftests:

   - Split out coredump socket tests and common helpers into separate
     files for better organization

   - Fix userspace coredump client detection issues

   - Handle edge-triggered epoll correctly

   - Ignore ENOSPC errors in tests

   - Add debug logging to coredump socket tests, socket protocol tests,
     and test helpers

   - Add tests for PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP_SIGNAL

   - Add tests for supported_mask field

   - Update pidfd header for selftests"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
