The SA_IMMUTABLE change was to deal with failures seen in the seccomp test suite after the recent fatal signal refactoring. Mainly that a process that should have effectively performed do_exit() was suddenly visible to the tracer.
I think this basically shows that the conversion from do_exit() to fatal_signal() was just wrong. The "do_exit()" wasn't really a signal, and can't be treated as such.
That said, instead of reverting, maybe we can just mark the cases where it really is about sending a synchronous signal, vs sending an explicitly fatal signal.
It's basically the "true" condition to force_sig_info_to_task(), so the fix might be just

Kyle, does that fix your test-case? And Kees - yours?
