This took longer than I thought to address all of the issues and double
check I am not missing something. I have split of a few of the patches
so now the patch series appears longer. It now covers less ground.
I realized while reviewing the group signals that for none of them is
siginfo important. Which means by slightly lowering our quality of
implementation in delivering those signals to a brand new process (by
not queueing siginfo) I can collect them all in a sigset and the code
is no more difficult than a sequence counter. Which means it is
straight forward to completely eliminate restarts from fork.
The implemenatation of PIDTYPE_TGID remains the same. How it gets used
has changed to guarantee that looking up a thread group by the pid of
one of it's threads and sending it a signal continues to work exactly
the same as before.
Please take a look and verify that I have caught everything. I think I
have but if not please let me know.
Thank you in advance,
Eric
