[PATCH 5.15 257/279] exit/syscall_user_dispatch: Send ordinary signals on failure

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 941edc5bf174b67f94db19817cbeab0a93e0c32a upstream.

Use force_fatal_sig instead of calling do_exit directly.  This ensures
the ordinary signal handling path gets invoked, core dumps as
appropriate get created, and for multi-threaded processes all of the
threads are terminated not just a single thread.

When asked Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> said [1]:

If at some point it becomes interesting we could relax
"force_fatal_sig(SIGSEGV)" to instead say
"force_sig_fault(SIGSEGV, SEGV_MAPERR, sd->selector)".

I avoid doing that in this patch to avoid making it possible
to catch currently uncatchable signals.
