    signal: Implement force_fatal_sig · 26d5badb
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    Add a simple helper force_fatal_sig that causes a signal to be
    delivered to a process as if the signal handler was set to SIG_DFL.
    
    Reimplement force_sigsegv based upon this new helper.  This fixes
    force_sigsegv so that when it forces the default signal handler
    to be used the code now forces the signal to be unblocked as well.
    
    Reusing the tested logic in force_sig_info_to_task that was built for
    force_sig_seccomp this makes the implementation trivial.
    
    This is interesting both because it makes force_sigsegv simpler and
    because there are a couple of buggy places in the kernel that call
    do_exit(SIGILL) or do_exit(SIGSYS) because there is no straight
    forward way today for those places to simply force the exit of a
    process with the chosen signal.  Creating force_fatal_sig allows
    those places to be implemented with normal signal exits.
