exit cleanups for v5.16

Linus,

Please pull the exit-cleanups-for-v5.16 branch from the git tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git exit-cleanups-for-v5.16

HEAD: f91140e4553408cacd326624cd50fc367725e04a Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I found several instances where the code is not using the existing abstractions properly.

This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending a signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the misuse of the existing abstractions that I found.

A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).

In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp.

Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build.

I forgot to mention there is a minor conflict with the staging tree. One of the functions that I cleaned up was in a file that was completely removed from staging. The result is that when you encounter the conflict that file can simply be removed.
