Merge tag 'kernel-6.15-rc1.tasklist_lock' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfsHEADmaster
Pull tasklist_lock optimizations from Christian Brauner:
"According to the performance testbots this brings a 23% performance
increase when creating new processes:
- Reduce tasklist_lock hold time on exit:
- Perform add_device_randomness() without tasklist_lock
- Perform free_pid() calls outside of tasklist_lock
- Drop irq disablement around pidmap_lock
- Add some tasklist_lock asserts
- Call flush_sigqueue() lockless by changing release_task()
- Don't pointlessly clear TIF_SIGPENDING in __exit_signal() ->
clear_tsk_thread_flag()"
* tag 'kernel-6.15-rc1.tasklist_lock' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
pid: drop irq disablement around pidmap_lock
pid: perform free_pid() calls outside of tasklist_lock
pid: sprinkle tasklist_lock asserts
exit: hoist get_pid() in release_task() outside of tasklist_lock
exit: perform add_device_randomness() without tasklist_lock
exit: kill the pointless __exit_signal()->clear_tsk_thread_flag(TIF_SIGPENDING)
exit: change the release_task() paths to call flush_sigqueue() lockless
