signal: Implement force_fatal_sig
Add a simple helper force_fatal_sig that causes a signal to be delivered to a process as if the signal handler was set to SIG_DFL. Reimplement force_sigsegv based upon this new helper. This fixes force_sigsegv so that when it forces the default signal handler to be used the code now forces the signal to be unblocked as well. Reusing the tested logic in force_sig_info_to_task that was built for force_sig_seccomp this makes the implementation trivial. This is interesting both because it makes force_sigsegv simpler and because there are a couple of buggy places in the kernel that call do_exit(SIGILL) or do_exit(SIGSYS) because there is no straight forward way today for those places to simply force the exit of a process with the chosen signal. Creating force_fatal_sig allows those places to be implemented with normal signal exits. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211020174406.17889-13-ebiederm@xmission.com Signed-off-by: Eric W.
