Oh, it seems that I actually need to apply this patch to (try to) understand
the details ;) Will try tomorrow.

Again, I didn't actually read the patch yet, but my gut feeling tells me
we shouldn't change JOBCTL_TRAP_MASK... and the fact you had to change
task_clear_jobctl_pending() to filter out JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE bit may be
proves this.

This

	if (current->jobctl & (JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP | JOBCTL_TRAP_NOTIFY))
	...
	else if (current->jobctl & JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE)

code in do_jobctl_trap() doesn't look nice too.

OK, please forget for now, but perhaps it would be more clean to add
JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE to the JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK check in recalc_sigpending()
and change get_signal to check JOBCTL_TRAP_MASK | JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE; and
I am not even sure cgroup_freezer_enter() should live in do_jobctl_trap().

You can just do spin_lock_irq(siglock). The new child can't go away
until wake_up_new_task(), otherwise any usage of "child" including
lock_task_sighand() was not safe.

signal_wake_up() is pointless.

wake_up_process() has no effect, set_tsk_thread_flag(TIF_SIGPENDING) is
not needed because schedule_tail() does calculate_sigpending() which should
notice JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE.

And again, please note that we need this because task_clear_jobctl_pending()
drops JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE. It shouldn't, I think...
