This one could do with some eyeballs on it. In theory it simply wraps the
ioctl handler in lock/unlock_kernel ready for the lock/unlocks to be pushed
into specific switch values. To do that means changing the code to return via
a common exit path not all over the place as it does now, hence the big diff

Afaics, currently there are no kernel problems with ptracing init, it can't
lose SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag and be killed/stopped by accident.
The ability to strace/debug init can be very useful if you try to figure out
why it does not work as expected.
However, admin should know what he does, "gdb /sbin/init 1" stops init, it
can't reap orphaned zombies or take care of /etc/inittab until continued. It
is even possible to crash init (and thus the whole system) if you wish,
ptracer has full control.

The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal
signals.
- The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver()
protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal
signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread.
If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not
right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader),
this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have.
- Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this
is just wrong.
Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems. It also helps
to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches.
Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used
by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits.

handle_stop_signal() clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED when sig == SIGKILL. Remove
this nasty special case. It was needed to prevent the race with group stop
and exit caused by thread-specific SIGKILL. Now that we use complete_signal()
for private signals too this is not needed, complete_signal() will notice
SIGKILL and abort the soon-to-begin group stop.
Except: the target thread is dead (has PF_EXITING). But in that case we
should not just clear SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED and nothing more. We should either
kill the whole thread group, or silently ignore the signal.
I suspect we are not right wrt zombie leaders, but this is another issue which
and should be fixed separately. Note that this check can't abort the group
stop if it was already started/finished, this check only adds a subtle side
effect if we race with the thread which has already dequeued sig_kernel_stop()
signal and temporary released ->siglock.

Based on Pavel Emelyanov's suggestion.
Rename __group_complete_signal() to complete_signal() and use it to process
the specific signals too. To do this we simply add the "int group" argument.
This allows us to greatly simply the signal-sending code and adds a useful
behaviour change. We can avoid the unneeded wakeups for the private signals
because wants_signal() is more clever than sigismember(blocked), but more
importantly we now take into account the fatal specific signals too.
The latter allows us to kill some subtle checks in handle_stop_signal() and
makes the specific/group signal's behaviour more consistent. For example,
currently sigtimedwait(FATAL_SIGNAL) behaves differently depending on was the
signal sent by kill() or tkill() if the signal was not blocked.
And. This allows us to tweak/fix the behaviour when the specific signal is
sent to the dying/dead ->group_leader.

p->sighand could be changed by exec(), but I can't imagine how it is possible

Not that this is really important, we never send STOP/CONT via send_sig() and
friends, but still this looks more consistent.
The only (afaics) special case is get_signal_to_deliver(). If the traced task
dequeues SIGCONT, it can re-send it to itself after ptrace_stop() if the
signal was blocked by debugger. In that case handle_stop_signal() is
