From a0592d42fe3e12966db02f5c41f1edae2e59c490 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:13:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: kill the obsolete code under is_global_init() The code under "if (is_global_init())" is bogus, and is_global_init() itself is not right in mt case. Contrary to what the comment says, nowadays force_sig_info() does kill init even if the handler is SIG_DFL. Note that force_sig_info() clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE exactly for this case.
