[PATCH 0/8] signal: refactor some functions

[PATCH 0/8] signal: refactor some functions

[Christian Brauner]

Hey,

This series refactors a bunch of functions in signal.c to simplify parts
of the code.
The greatest single change is declaring the static do_sigpending()
helper as void which makes it possible to remove a bunch of unnecessary
checks in the syscalls later on.

Thanks!
Christian

Christian Brauner (8):
  signal: make force_sigsegv() void
  signal: make kill_as_cred_perm() return bool
  signal: make may_ptrace_stop() return bool
  signal: add copy_pending() helper
  signal: flatten do_send_sig_info()
  signal: drop else branch in do_signal_stop()
  signal: make do_sigpending() void
  signal: simplify rt_sigaction()

[PATCH 1/8] signal: make force_sigsegv() void

[Christian Brauner]

force_sigsegv() returned 0 unconditionally so it doesn't make sense to have
it return at all. In addition, there are no callers that check
force_sigsegv()'s return value.

Yeah, that should've been done in "signal: lift sigset size check out of
do_sigpending()" last year; missed that on review back then.

I prefer to return early if I know I can and have the bigger portion of
the code move out of the if-branch. But that's - let's say - an
opinionated improvement.

Makes sense. I put this in v1.

Thanks!

Added in v1.
There's a bunch more functions that should return bool and that can
similarly simplified which I'll send out in the next round.

	ret = do_sigaction(sig, act ? &new_sa : NULL, oact ? &old_sa : NULL);
	if (!ret && oact && copy_to_user(oact, &old_sa.sa, sizeof(old_sa.sa)))

Althought I'd personaly write it as:

	ret = do_sigaction(sig, act ? &new_sa : NULL, oact ? &old_sa : NULL);
	if (ret)
		return ret;
	if (oact && copy_to_user(oact, &old_sa.sa, sizeof(old_sa.sa)))
		return -EFAULT;
	return 0;

Yes, I agree and should have been bolder in making that change. But I
already wasn't sure how ok people would be with:

if (act) {} --> if (act)

Yeah, I can put that in v2.
I'd wait for a little until people have commmented/acked some of the
other changes so that I don't keep spamming inboxes. If you have a few
spare minutes it would be cool if you could take a quick look. It
shouldn't take long.

Thanks!
