Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] linux/signal.h: Ignore SIGINFO by default in new tasks
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

This matches the behaviour of other Unix-like systems that have SIGINFO
and causes less harm to processes that do not install handlers for this
signal, making the keyboard status character non-fatal for them.

This is implemented with the assumption that SIGINFO is defined
to be equivalent to SIGPWR; still, there is no reason for PWR to
result in termination of the signal recipient anyway — it does not
indicate there is a fatal problem with the recipient's execution
context (like e.g. FPE/ILL do), and we have TERM/KILL for explicit
termination requests.
