Subject: [PATCH 8/8] signal: Remove the helper signal_group_exit
This helper is misleading. It tests for an ongoing exec as well as
the process having received a fatal signal.
Sometimes it is appropriate to treat an on-going exec differently than
a process that is shutting down due to a fatal signal. In particular
taking the fast path out of exit_signals instead of retargeting
signals is not appropriate during exec, and not changing the the exit
code in do_group_exit during exec.
Removing the helper so that both cases must be coded for explicitly
makes it more obvious what is going on as both cases must be coded for
explicitly.
While removing the helper fix the two cases where I have observed
using signal_group_helper resulted in the wrong result.
For the unset exit_code in do_group_exit during an exec I use 0 as I
think that is what group_exit_code has been set to most of the time.
During a thread group stop group_exit_code is set to the stop signal
and when the thread group receives SIGCONT group_exit_code is reset to
0.
