[ Upstream commit 9133607de37a4887c6f89ed937176a0a0c1ebb17 ]
Consider a process with a group leader L and a sub-thread T. L does sys_exit(1), then T does sys_exit_group(2).
In this case wait_task_zombie(L) will notice SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and use L->signal->group_exit_code, this is correct.
But, before that, do_notify_parent(L) called by release_task(T) will use L->exit_code != L->signal->group_exit_code, and this is not consistent. We don't really care, I think that nobody relies on the info which comes with SIGCHLD, if nothing else SIGCHLD < SIGRTMIN can be queued only once.
But pidfs_exit() is more problematic, I think pidfs_exit_info->exit_code should report ->group_exit_code in this case, just like wait_task_zombie().
TODO: with this change we can hopefully cleanup (or may be even kill) the similar SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT checks, at least in wait_task_zombie().
