Subject: exec: simplify the new ->sighand allocation
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc1~674
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b2c903b8790467ae400f6992ac01bc8913b49e19;p=pandora-kernel.git

exec: simplify the new ->sighand allocation

de_thread() pre-allocates newsighand to make sure that exec() can't fail after
killing all sub-threads. Imho, this buys nothing, but complicates the code:

	- this is (mostly) needed to handle CLONE_SIGHAND without CLONE_THREAD
	  tasks, this is very unlikely (if ever used) case

	- unless we already have some serious problems, GFP_KERNEL allocation
	  should not fail

	- ENOMEM still can happen after de_thread(), ->sighand is not the last
	  object we have to allocate

Change the code to allocate the new ->sighand on demand.
