The existence of sigkill_pending is a little silly as it is functionally a duplicate of fatal_signal_pending that is used in exactly one place. Checking for pending fatal signals and returning early in ptrace_stop is actively harmful. It casues the ptrace_stop called by ptrace_signal to return early before setting current->exit_code. Later when ptrace_signal reads the signal number from current->exit_code is undefined, making it unpredictable what will happen. Instead rely on the fact that schedule will not sleep if there is a pending signal that can awaken a task. Removing the explict sigkill_pending test fixes fixes ptrace_signal when ptrace_stop does not stop because current->exit_code is always set to to signr.

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.
