    signal: remove the wrong signal_pending() check in restore_user_sigmask() · 97abc889
    Oleg Nesterov authored
    This is the minimal fix for stable, I'll send cleanups later.
    
    Commit 854a6ed5 ("signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()") introduced
    the visible change which breaks user-space: a signal temporary unblocked
    by set_user_sigmask() can be delivered even if the caller returns
    success or timeout.
    
    Change restore_user_sigmask() to accept the additional "interrupted"
    argument which should be used instead of signal_pending() check, and
    update the callers.

    : For clarity.  I don't think this is required by posix, or fundamentally to
    : remove the races in select.  It is what linux has always done and we have
    : applications who care so I agree this fix is needed.
    :
    : Further in any case where the semantic change that this patch rolls back
    : (aka where allowing a signal to be delivered and the select like call to
    : complete) would be advantage we can do as well if not better by using
    : signalfd.
    :
    : Michael is there any chance we can get this guarantee of the linux
    : implementation of pselect and friends clearly documented.  The guarantee
    : that if the system call completes successfully we are guaranteed that no
    : signal that is unblocked by using sigmask will be delivered?
