[Oleg Nesterov]

Well, can't comment, I leave this to the arch/arm64/ maintainers.

but let me add a bit of spam just for the record,

So what does this patch try to do? Note that unhandled_signal(tsk) returns true
if is_global_init(tsk).

So it seems that this patch just tries to bypass the show_unhandled_signals and
__ratelimit() checks? Or what?



OTOH. The is_global_init() check in unhandled_signal() (which predates the git
history) doesn't look right to me. If init has a handler for, say, SIGSEGV, why
should the kernel complain? I need to recheck this logic...
