    signal: Pass pid and pid type into send_sigqueue · 24122c7f
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    Make the code more maintainable by performing more of the signal
    related work in send_sigqueue.
    
    A quick inspection of do_timer_create will show that this code path
    does not lookup a thread group by a thread's pid.  Making it safe
    to find the task pointed to by it_pid with "pid_task(it_pid, type)";
    
    This supports the changes needed in fork to tell if a signal was sent
    to a single process or a group of processes.
    
    Having the pid to task transition in signal.c will also make it easier
    to sort out races with de_thread and and the thread group leader
    exiting when it comes time to address that.
