tracehook: tracehook_consider_fatal_signal
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This defines tracehook_consider_fatal_signal() has a fine-grained hook for
deciding to skip the special cases for a fatal signal, as ptrace does.
There is no change, only cleanup.

* tracehook_consider_fatal_signal - suppress special handling of fatal signal
* @task: task receiving the signal
* @sig: signal number being sent
* @handler: %SIG_DFL or %SIG_IGN
*
* Return nonzero to prevent special handling of this termination signal.
* Normally @handler is %SIG_DFL. It can be %SIG_IGN if @sig is ignored,
* in which case force_sig() is about to reset it to %SIG_DFL.
* When this returns zero, this signal might cause a quick termination
* that does not give the debugger a chance to intercept the signal.
*
* Called with or without @task->sighand->siglock held.
