[PATCH v2 1/3] signal: change sig_task_ignored(force) to take sig_kernel_only() into account

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Thu Nov 05 2015 - 14:21:31 EST


sig_task_ignored(force => true) returns false unless sig_kernel_ignore().
This makes no sense if !sig_kernel_only(), the signal will be dropped in
get_signal() anyway.

This patch simplifies the next change and allows us to do more cleanups,
in particular we can unify the SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE/sig_kernel_only() check
in sig_task_ignored() and get_signal().

The user-visible change is that, since we drop the SIG_DFL signal early,
it won't be reported to debugger. I think this is fine, but probably we
will change this later, we need to fix this logic anyway. Currently we
rely on the fact that (say) send_sigtrap() uses force_sig_info() which
clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, and this is really bad.
