[PATCH 05/26] exit: Remove the pointless clearing of SIGPENDING in __exit_signal

Show key headers only | View raw

Handling of signals does not happen once do_exit is called as a
process never again exits from the kernel.  So remove this ancient hold
over from something else.

Furthermore this is TIF_SIGPENDING on a zombie.  Which will never
be scheduled on a cpu again.

Setting sigpending=0 was silly in 2.4 when exit_sighand did it and was
called from do_exit.  When exit_sighand started being called from
release_task the code went from silly to completely pointless.
