    [PATCH] tgkill patch for safe inter-thread signals · 62133cb1
    Ulrich Drepper authored
    This is the updated versions of the patch Ingo sent some time ago to
    implement a new tgkill() syscall which specifies the target thread
    without any possibility of ambiguity or thread ID wrap races, by passing
    in both the thread group _and_ the thread ID as the arguments.
    
    This is really needed since many/most people still run with limited PID
    ranges (maybe due to legacy apps breaking) and the PID reuse can cause
    problems.
