As Andy pointed out that there are races between
force_sig_info_to_task and sigaction[1] when force_sig_info_task. As
Kees discovered[2] ptrace is also able to change these signals.
In the case of seeccomp killing a process with a signal it is a
security violation to allow the signal to be caught or manipulated.
Solve this problem by introducing a new flag SA_IMMUTABLE that
prevents sigaction and ptrace from modifying these forced signals.
This flag is carefully made kernel internal so that no new ABI is
introduced.
Longer term I think this can be solved by guaranteeing short circuit
delivery of signals in this case. Unfortunately reliable and
guaranteed short circuit delivery of these signals is still a ways off
from being implemented, tested, and merged. So I have implemented a much
simpler alternative for now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
