Oleg,

I am still reviewing this patch and will try to plug in the multiple
pid ns code and play with it some more in the next couple of days.

But am curious why we need the in_interrupt() check and that too only
for the container-init process.

Also, maybe a dumb que, are the checks for SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL required
both on sender side and the receiver side (get_signal_to_deliver())

Thanks,

Sukadev

| Currently, /sbin/init is protected from unhandled signals by the
| "current == child_reaper(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver().
| This is not enough, we have multiple problems:
| 
| 	- this doesn't work for multi-threaded inits, and we can't
| 	  fix this by simply making this check group-wide.
| 
| 	- /sbin/init and kernel threads are not protected from
| 	  handle_stop_signal(). Minor problem, but not good and
| 	  allows to "steal" SIGCONT or change ->signal->flags.
| 
| 	- /sbin/init is not protected from __group_complete_signal(),
| 	  sig_fatal() can set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and block exec(), kill
| 	  sub-threads, set ->group_stop_count, etc.
| 
| Also, with support for multiple pid namespaces, we need an ability to
| actually kill the sub-namespace's init from the parent namespace. In
| this case it is not possible (without painful and intrusive changes)
| to make the "should we honor this signal" decision on the receiver's
| side.
| 
| Hopefully this patch (adds 43 bytes to kernel/signal.o) can solve
| these problems.
| 
| Notes:
| 
| 	- Blocked signals are never ignored, so init still can receive
| 	  a pending blocked signal after sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK).
| 	  Easy to fix, but probably we can ignore this issue.
| 
| 	- this patch allows us to simplify de_thread() playing games
| 	  with pid_ns->child_reaper.
| 
| (Side note: the current behaviour of things like force_sig_info_fault()
|  is not very good, init should not ignore these signals and go to the
|  endless loop. Exit + panic is imho better, easy to chamge)
