[PATCH] pidfd: change pidfd_send_signal() to respect PIDFD_THREAD

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Feb 07 2024 - 06:47:23 EST


Turn kill_pid_info() into kill_pid_info_type(), this allows to pass any
pid_type to group_send_sig_info(), despite its name it should work fine
even if type = PIDTYPE_PID.

Change pidfd_send_signal() to use PIDTYPE_PID or PIDTYPE_TGID depending
on PIDFD_THREAD.

While at it kill another TODO comment in pidfd_show_fdinfo(). As Christian
expains fdinfo reports f_flags, userspace can already detect PIDFD_THREAD.
