    mktree: cleanup collect of coordinator/root task
    
    Fix the logic that collects the coordinator and/or root task
    and report their exit status.
    
    This mainly fixes bad behavior when 'mktree' itself is a container
    init (e.g. started with nsexec), in which case it collects not only
    the coordinator but all orphan zombies resulting from the restart.

    mktree.c: options --pids and --pidns imply each other by default
    
    To restart into current pidns with pids restored, use:

    Also fix a glitch by negating the test before the call to prctl()
    such that it works as advertised in the preceeding comment.

    Use __WALL option in waitpid()
    
    The coordinator creates the children with clone(), so pass the __WALL
    option to waitpid(). Otherwise the waitpid() will fail, and bring the
    container down even as the application is restarting successfully :-)
    
    For instance, if the original app is executed as:
      $ ns_exec -cpuimP pid.ptree1 -- ./ptree1 -n 2 -d 1 -w sleep
    
    Then ns_exec creates the app in new container, with p->exit_signal 0
    for the container-init. Restart correctly restores the exit_signal to
    0. Because of that, we need the coordinator to use __WALL.

    mktree.c: rework the parent-child cleanup/collect logic
    
    Misc fixes to the coodinator <=> root-task logic and, in the pidns
    (where root-task isn't init) to the mktree <=> coordinator logic:
    
    * The ret value of getpid() is cached by libc, but we bypass libc with
     a direct call to clone_with_pids(). Instead use syscall(__NR_pid) to
     always get a fresh ret value.
    
    * Register SIGINT and SIGCHLD handler after forking root-task (and
     coordinator), instead of before. Parent then probes that the newborn
     exists before proceeding.
    
    * Newborn children use prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG...) after they verify
     that the parent is indeed there.
    
    * More complete treatment of waitpid() ret value in sigchld_handler().

    mktree.c: make feeder task a thread instead of child
    
    When mktree is also the coordinator task and also a container init,
    e.g. when started with 'ns' and with '--no-pidns', the feeder process
    would be re-parented to it and produce a SIGCHLD when it terminated.
    In turn, this would interrupt coordinator's wait-for-completion of
    the restart.
    
    Converting the feeder task to a thread (but without using SIGCHLD in
    the flags) eliminates this problem.

    mktree.c: ensure that all tasks are ready for coordinator
    
    The (recent) restart logic requires that all restarting tasks be
    already alive when the coordinator starts to read the checkpoint image
    file (i.e. prior to calling prepare_descendants() in the kernel).
    
    This has already been the case for the "no --pids" case, because the
    feeder would first wait to hear from all restarting tasks about their
    new pids, and only then push actual data to the kernel.
    
    Now, for the '--pids' case, piggy-back on this mechanism to create the
    same end effect, so when coordinator starts to process data from the
    file descriptor, the hierarchy is properly prepared.

    mktree.c: adjust to restart logic, remove CLONE_RESTART flag
    
    The kernel restart logic has changed: the coordinator now sets the
    t->restart_tsk pointer on the descendants, instead of using a new
    clone flag to pass it through inheritance.
    
    By ridding the need for clone_with_pids() (except for --pids case)
    we now again have a convenient fallback - clone - when the former
    isn't available.

    Add three new options to 'mktree':
      --pidns: do the restart in a new pid namespace
      --no-pidns: do the restart in current pid namespace (default)
      --pids: in case of --no-pidns, try to restore pids nevertheless.
    
    If @pidns, coordinator task uses CLONE_NEWPID when forking the
    root task. Current only one pidns level is supported.
    
    If @pids (or @pidns), tasks are created with clone_with_pids()
    and original pids are restored.
    
    For now, 'struct target_pid_set' is defined explicitly in the
    source (should be defined in kernel header, though).

    mktree: use a coordinator task during restart
    
    Kernel code was updated to expect a coordinator task when multiple
    tasks are restarted (commit b0ddfc4784a543fdb98662d975963468e13ad3fa)
    
    This patch adapts mktree.c to that scheme. In particular, the main
    task is the coordinator. It now forks the feeder task and then also
    forks the root restarting task.
    
    One benfit is that error reporting makes sense now: the user will
    see a suitable error message instead of the segfault of the init
    task.
    
    Also, it's now easier to add the "CLONE_NEWPID" when creating the
    init task to put the restarting processes in a new namespace.
    
    Added switch to 'mktree':  --wait (-w) to wait for restart (root)
    task to exit, --show-status to show its exit status, --copy-status
    to imitate its exit status, and --no-wait (-W) to not wait for it.
    
    Catch SIGINT and pass it to the restart task if in --wait mode.
    
    Catch SIGCHLD (until restart succeeds) to detect errors.

    mktree: set 'session->phantom' when adding a placeholder task
    
    Placeholder tasks are used to generate session ids of tasks that
    have died prior to the checkpoint. There is at most one placeholder
    per session, pointed to by ->phantom.
    
    Also, Sukadev Bhattiprolu observed that a task with ppid==1 and a
    session id like the container-init can be viewed either as an orphan
    task or as a child of containter-init. To avoid an unnecessary
    placeholder in this case, switch the order of the orphan and the
    same-sid-as-parent tests.

    When restarting a subtree (that was checkpointed out-of-container), there
    may be processes that carry a sid/pgid that don't belong to the subtree
    (e.g. from an acenstore further above). In this case, remaps these to the
    sid/pgid of the subtree init.

    Inroduce DumpForest algorithm to build creator-child-relationship tree
    
    Support restart of multiple processes from userspace, in the presence
    of threads, dead (zombie) tasks and clones with CLONE_PARENT, and while
    preserving the session-id.
    
    The algorithm was described in the paper "Transparent Checkpoint/Restart
    of Multiple Processes on Commodity Operating Systems" in USENIX 2007
    (http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix07/tech/full_papers/laadan/laadan_html/paper.html).
    
    We distinguish between a process parent and its creator: the differ for
    threads and for clone with CLONE_PARENT. For each task the algorithm
    assigns a creator, and for each creator the algorihtm assigns the list
    of children to create. In the next patch this will be used as a set of
    instructions to create the processes
    
    The output is a tree that describes these relationships. The tasks are
    stores in a large array and the tree structure is imposed on this array.
    The size array is three times the number of tasks, to accommodate for
    new place-holder tasks that the algorithm may add on demand.
    
    To provide fast lookup of a task in the array/tree given its pid, there
    is also a simple hash table implementation that translates a pid to the
    pointer to the task.
    
    If restarting a non-container (that is, a subtree of processes from some
    namespace), then the "root" process is not init. The code is careful to
    compare with the subtree root instead. On the other hand, we can't have
    zombie processes.

    Fix bug in cr_adjust_id() if tasks switch their pids on restart
    
    Make a copy of the original array to fix a nifty bug where two
    tasks in original image with pids, e.g., 3 and 5, restart with
    pids swapped (5 and 3), for instance -
    
    	original pid array:    [][][3][][5][]...
    	first, swap B with A:  [][][3][][3][]...
    	then, swap A with B:   [][][5][][5][]...
    	but correct should be: [][][5][][3][]...

    Always use feeder (and checkpoint image has one header, one tree)
    
    Kernel checkpoint for multiple process no longer saves two copies of
    the header and the tree; Therefore, restarting processes in user space
    requires using a feeder anyway.

    no-pids: use child as feeder to avoid orphaning the group
    
    In 'no-pids' mode, use the child process for the feeder, so that
    the original task (mktree) remains the process group leader and
    isn't orphaned.
    
    The feeder task is made reparented to init(1) so the original
    task need not collect it (if restart succeeds, of course it won't !)
    
    Add documentation and do some code cleanups.

    Transfrom pids_arr to actual pids before calling sys_restart
    
    Allow 'mktree' to restart a tree of processes without the need to
    clone-with-pid by modifying the pids_arr structure prior to the
    actual restart.
    
    We use a "helper task" that forks the init (that forks the others),
    and expects to receive via a pipe the translations old ==> new pids.
    The task also reads the checkpoint in and write the (modified) data
    out to the stdin of the restarting process.
    
    Of course, this assumes that the application can tolerate the change
    of pids after a restart.

    Allow 'mktree' to execute even not as container init
    
    By not requiring that a task's pid be identical to the expected
    pid from the pids_arr information. This allows to run (and test)
    the restart even not inside a container. In particular, one can
    also drop the requirement of restoring pids.. and voila :)
