Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/11] PIDTYPE_TGID and fewer fork restarts


The following patches should be close.  I took some patches I haven't
taken the time to merge yet that make PIDTYPE_TGID not a hack.

Updated the code that deals with signals to handle PIDTYPE_TGID.

Pushed the pid type down from the signal senders all of the way
down into __send_signal.  That work could probably use being
split into more than one patch for readability, but it seems
reasonble and less of a hack than the "bool group" we have
currently.

I think I have gotten all of the places we send signals to multiple
processes.  But I have yet to make an exhaustive examination.  I would
appreciate some review feedback before I burn a day doing that.

All in all this changes a little more than I might hope for but it seems
a nicely targted cleanup that sorts out the fork issue.

Comments please.

I think I am 99% of the way to solving this cleanly but any feedback would
be very appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Eric W. Biederman (11):
      pids: Initialize leader_pid in init_task
      pids: Move task_pid_type into sched/signal.h
      pids: Compute task_tgid using signal->leader_pid
      kvm: Don't open code task_pid in kvm_vcpu_ioctl
      pids: Move the pgrp and session pid pointers from task_struct to signal_struct
      pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGID
      signal: Deliver group signals via PIDTYPE_TGID not PIDTYPE_PID
      signal: Use PIDTYPE_TGID to clearly store where file signals will be sent
      tty_io: Use do_send_sig_info in __do_SACK  to forcibly kill tasks
      signal: Push pid type from signal senders down into __send_signal
      signal: Ignore all but multi-process signals that come in during fork.
