Linus Torvalds e572410e47 ptrace: Stop supporting SIGKILL for PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT
Recently I had a conversation where it was pointed out to me that
 SIGKILL sent to a tracee stropped in PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT is quite
 difficult for a tracer to handle.
 
 Keeping SIGKILL working after the process has been killed is pain
 from an implementation point of view.
 
 So since the debuggers don't want this behavior let's see if we can
 remove this wart for the userspace API
 
 If a regression is detected it should only need to be the last change
 that is the reverted.  The other two are just general cleanups that
 make the last patch simpler.
