commit 687bff0cd0 upstream.
When pasting a selection to a vt, the task is set as INTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for a tty to unthrottle. But signals are not handled at all.
Normally, this is not a problem as tty_ldisc_receive_buf receives all
the goods and a user has no reason to interrupt the task.
There are two scenarios where this matters:
1) when the tty is throttled and a signal is sent to the process, it
spins on a CPU until the tty is unthrottled. schedule() does not
really echedule, but returns immediately, of course.
2) when the sel_buffer becomes invalid, KASAN prevents any reads from it
and the loop simply does not proceed and spins forever (causing the
tty to throttle, but the code never sleeps, the same as above). This
sometimes happens as there is a race in the sel_buffer handling code.
So add signal handling to this ioctl (TIOCL_PASTESEL) and return -EINTR
in case a signal is pending.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
