The function do_trap_no_signal embodies almost all of the work of the function do_trap. The exceptions are setting of thread.error_code and thread.trap_nr in the case when the signal will be sent, and reporting which signal will be sent with show_signal. Filling in struct siginfo and then calling do_trap is problematic as filling in struct siginfo is an fiddly process that can through inattention has resulted in fields not initialized and the wrong fields being filled in. To avoid this error prone situation I am replacing force_sig_info with a set of functions that take as arguments the information needed to send a specific kind of signal. The function do_trap is called in the context of several different kinds of signals today. Having a solid do_trap_no_signal that can be reused allows call sites that send different kinds of signals to reuse all of the code in do_trap_no_signal. Modify do_trap_no_signal to have a single exit there signals where be sent (aka returning -1) to allow more of the signal sending path to be moved to from do_trap to do_trap_no_signal. Move setting thread.trap_nr and thread.error_code into do_trap_no_signal so the code does not need to be duplicated. Make the type of the string that is passed into do_trap_no_signal to const. The only user of that str is die and it already takes a const string, so this just makes it explicit that the string won't change. All of this prepares the way for using do_trap_no_signal outside of do_trap. Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
