We have a lot of problems with accessing task_struct->signal, it can "disappear" at any moment. Even current can't use its ->signal safely after exit_notify(). ->siglock helps, but it is not convenient, not always possible, and sometimes it makes sense to use task->signal even after this task has already dead. This patch adds the reference counter, sigcnt, into signal_struct. This reference is owned by task_struct and it is dropped in __put_task_struct(). Perhaps it makes sense to export get/put_signal_struct() later, but currently I don't see the immediate reason. Rename __cleanup_signal() to free_signal_struct() and unexport it. With the previous changes it does nothing except kmem_cache_free(). Change __exit_signal() to not clear/free ->signal, it will be freed when the last reference to any thread in the thread group goes away. Note: - when the last thead exits signal->tty can point to nowhere, see the next patch. - with or without this patch signal_struct->count should go away, or at least it should be "int nr_threads" for fs/proc. This will be addressed later.
