    Merge branch 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
    
    Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
     "It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
      sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
      This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.
    
      This set of changes is split into several parts:
    
       - The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
         something only for very special cases. The part starts using
         PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
         actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
         of processes or just a single process.
    
       - With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
         that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
         appear to be received after the fork completes"
