I think this basically shows that the conversion from do_exit() to
fatal_signal() was just wrong. The "do_exit()" wasn't really a signal,
and can't be treated as such.

That said, instead of reverting, maybe we can just mark the cases
where it really is about sending a synchronous signal, vs sending an
explicitly fatal signal.

It's basically the "true" condition to force_sig_info_to_task(), so
the fix might be just

@@ -1323,7 +1323,8 @@ force_sig_info_to_task(struct kernel_siginfo
*info, struct task_struct *t, bool
blocked = sigismember(&t->blocked, sig);
if (blocked || ignored || sigdfl) {
action->sa.sa_handler = SIG_DFL;
- action->sa.sa_flags |= SA_IMMUTABLE;
+ if (sigdfl)
+ action->sa.sa_flags |= SA_IMMUTABLE;
if (blocked) {
sigdelset(&t->blocked, sig);
recalc_sigpending_and_wake(t);

Kyle, does that fix your test-case? And Kees - yours?
