Subject: exec: rework the group exit and fix the race with kill
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ed5d2cac114202fe2978a9cbcab8f5032796d538;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

exec: rework the group exit and fix the race with kill

As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec.  de_thread()
sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then
clears signal->flags.  All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window
(which is not too small) will be lost.

With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.  signal_group_exit(),
the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress.
It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.
