Subject: [PATCH 3.16 026/305] signal: Always deliver the kernel's SIGKILL
 and SIGSTOP to a pid namespace init

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@...ssion.com>

commit 3597dfe01d12f570bc739da67f857fd222a3ea66 upstream.

Instead of playing whack-a-mole and changing SEND_SIG_PRIV to
SEND_SIG_FORCED throughout the kernel to ensure a pid namespace init
gets signals sent by the kernel, stop allowing a pid namespace init to
ignore SIGKILL or SIGSTOP sent by the kernel.  A pid namespace init is
only supposed to be able to ignore signals sent from itself and
children with SIG_DFL.

Fixes: 921cf9f63089 ("signals: protect cinit from unblocked SIG_DFL signals")
