I haven't seen anything for this, this is not in the current Linus or mm releases. Did I miss something?Andi had some legitimate gripes over it - the patch was a bit messy and could have some performance impact. So I kinda forgot about it in the hope that a nicer solution would come along.
Ok. I searched and could not find Andi's email; do you have a pointer to it? I'll fix the problems. I looked at it, though, and the only possible performance hit I could find was that it copies the sa_handler data structure. That's going to be hard to avoid. And there was that big nasty line with too many "->" and "." setting sa_handler to SIG_DFL... Thanks, -Corey
