4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Oleg Nesterov oleg@redhat.com
commit 628c1bcba204052d19b686b5bac149a644cdb72e upstream.
The comment in sig_ignored() says "Tracers may want to know about even ignored signals" but SIGKILL can not be reported to debugger and it is just wrong to return 0 in this case: SIGKILL should only kill the SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE task if it comes from the parent ns.
Change sig_ignored() to ignore ->ptrace if sig == SIGKILL and rely on sig_task_ignored().
SISGTOP coming from within the namespace is not really right too but at least debugger can intercept it, and we can't drop it here because this will break "gdb -p 1": ptrace_attach() won't work. Perhaps we will add another ->ptrace check later, we will see.
