[PATCH 1/1] signals: don't abuse __flush_signals() in selinux_bprm_committed_creds()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon May 04 2015 - 12:46:49 EST


selinux_bprm_committed_creds()->__flush_signals() is not right, we
shouldn't clear TIF_SIGPENDING unconditionally. There can be other
reasons for signal_pending(): freezing(), JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK, and
potentially more.

Also change this code to check fatal_signal_pending() rather than
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, it looks a bit better.

Now we can kill __flush_signals() before it finds another buggy user.

Note: this code looks racy, we can flush a signal which was sent after
the task SID has been updated.
