signal: requeuing undeliverable signals
Kyle Huey recently reported[1] that rr gets confused if SIGKILL prevents ptrace_signal from delivering a signal, as the kernel setups up a signal frame for a signal that rr did not have a chance to observe with ptrace. In looking into it I found a couple of bugs and a quality of implementation issue. - The test for signal_group_exit should be inside the for loop in get_signal. - Signals should be requeued on the same queue they were dequeued from. - When a fatal signal is pending ptrace_signal should not return another signal for delivery. Kyle Huey has verified[2] an earlier version of this change. I have reworked things one more time to completely fix the issues raised, and to keep the code maintainable long term. I have smoke tested this code and combined with a careful review I expect this code to work fine. Kyle if you can double check that my last round of changes still works for rr I would appreciate it.
