HEAD: 84fe4cc09abc1a5ef3a282db3ed10f4d3f1e6a0b signal: Don't send signals to
tasks that don't exist
It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a sufficiently
expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing. This branch
holds the set of changes to remove the need for that restart.
This set of changes is split into several parts. The first part
makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead something only for very
special cases. The part starts uses PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in
__send_signal where signals are actually delivered we know if the signal
is being sent to a a group of processes or just a single process. With
that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so that fork
logically makes signals received while it is running appear to be
received after the fork completes.
Eric W. Biederman (22):
pids: Initialize leader_pid in init_task
pids: Move task_pid_type into sched/signal.h
pids: Compute task_tgid using signal->leader_pid
kvm: Don't open code task_pid in kvm_vcpu_ioctl
pids: Move the pgrp and session pid pointers from task_struct to
signal_struct
pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGID
signal: Use PIDTYPE_TGID to clearly store where file signals will be sent
posix-timers: Noralize good_sigevent
signal: Pass pid and pid type into send_sigqueue
signal: Pass pid type into group_send_sig_info
signal: Pass pid type into send_sigio_to_task & send_sigurg_to_task
signal: Pass pid type into do_send_sig_info
signal: Push pid type down into send_signal
signal: Push pid type down into __send_signal
signal: Push pid type down into complete_signal.
fork: Move and describe why the code examines PIDNS_ADDING
fork: Unconditionally exit if a fatal signal is pending
signal: Add calculate_sigpending()
fork: Skip setting TIF_SIGPENDING in ptrace_init_task
fork: Have new threads join on-going signal group stops
signal: Don't restart fork when signals come in.
signal: Don't send signals to tasks that don't exist
