This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled signal: Don't always set SA_IMMUTABLE for forced signals to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: signal-don-t-always-set-sa_immutable-for-forced-signals.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From e349d945fac76bddc78ae1cb92a0145b427a87ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2021 11:11:13 -0600 Subject: signal: Don't always set SA_IMMUTABLE for forced signals From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e349d945fac76bddc78ae1cb92a0145b427a87ce upstream. Recently to prevent issues with SECCOMP_RET_KILL and similar signals being changed before they are delivered SA_IMMUTABLE was added. Unfortunately this broke debuggers[1][2] which reasonably expect to be able to trap synchronous SIGTRAP and SIGSEGV even when the target process is not configured to handle those signals. Update force_sig_to_task to support both the case when we can allow the debugger to intercept and possibly ignore the signal and the case when it is not safe to let userspace know about the signal until the process has exited.
