I do think this part of the patch is correct, but I'd like to know
what triggered this change?
It seems fairly harmless - SIGKILL used to be the only signal that was
passed through in the coredump case, now you pass through all
non-ignored signals.
But since SIGKILL is the only signal that is relevant for the
fatal_signal_pending() case, this change seems irrelevant for the
coredump issue. Any other signals passed through won't matter.
End result: I think removing those two lines is likely a good idea,
but I also suspect it could/should just be a separate patch with a
separate explanation for it.
Hmm?
