Subject: [PATCH 5/5] coredump: ignore non-fatal signals when core dumping to a pipe
From: Ben Chan <benchan@...omium.org>
Make wait_for_dump_helpers() not abort piping the core dump data when the
crashing process has received a non-fatal signal. The abort still occurs
in the case of SIGKILL.
Testing:
localhost ~ # echo "|/usr/bin/sleep 1d" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
localhost ~ # sleep 1d &
[1] 2514
localhost ~ # kill -ABRT $! # Cause coredump
localhost ~ # kill -USR1 $! # Send non-fatal signal
localhost ~ # top -p $! -n1 -b # Verify that we aren't dead or busy waiting

Addresses http://crosbug.com/21559
Changes since v1:
* Mandeep Singh Baines
* To prevent blocking suspend, add try_to_freeze().
Changes since v2:
* LKML: <20130215150117.GB30829@...hat.com> Oleg Nestorov
* Block non-fatal signals to avoid poll_wait busy waiting.
* LKML: <20130215152538.9a61a44e.akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Andrew Morton
* Added comment re: try_to_freeze and clarified commit message.
Changes since v3:
* Mandeep Singh Baines
* Clear signal pending caused by fake signal from freeze_task().
* Document how the patch was tested.
Changes since v4:
* Mandeep Singh Baines
* Moved clearing of fake signal to __refrigerator() (separate patch).
* SIGKILL will remain in shared_pending since SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set,
so fatal_signal_pending() will return false. Add a sigkill_pending()
helper that does the right thing.
