Subject: signals: split do_tkill
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
sys_kill() has a counterpart sys_tgkill which allows to send signals to a
particular thread. sys_rt_sigqueueinfo is lacking such a counterpart.
Aside of the asymmetry it is a show stopper for migrating applications
from other unix-alike RTOSes.
The following patch series implements rt_tgsigqueueinfo and hooks it up
for x86.
This patch:
Split out the code from do_tkill to make it reusable by the follow up
patch which implements sys_rt_tgsigqueueinfo
