Eric W. Biederman 9a95f78eab signal: Drop signals received after a fatal signal has been processed 
In 403bad72b6 ("coredump: only SIGKILL should interrupt the
coredumping task") Oleg modified the kernel to drop all signals that
come in during a coredump except SIGKILL, and suggested that it might
be a good idea to generalize that to other cases after the process has
received a fatal signal.

Semantically it does not make sense to perform any signal delivery
after the process has already been killed.

When a signal is sent while a process is dying today the signal is
placed in the signal queue by __send_signal and a single task of the
process is woken up with signal_wake_up, if there are any tasks that
have not set PF_EXITING.

Take things one step farther and have prepare_signal report that all
signals that come after a process has been killed should be ignored.
While retaining the historical exception of allowing SIGKILL to
interrupt coredumps.

Update the comment in fs/coredump.c to make it clear coredumps are
special in being able to receive SIGKILL.

This changes things so that a process stopped in PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT can
not be made to escape it's ptracer and finish exiting by sending it
SIGKILL.  That a process can be made to leave PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT and
escape it's tracer by sending the process a SIGKILL has been
complicating tracer's for no apparent advantage.  If the process needs
to be made to leave PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT all that needs to happen is to
kill the proceses's tracer.  This differs from the coredump code where
there is no other mechanism besides honoring SIGKILL to expedite the
end of coredumping.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
