Jan H. Schönherr 20b7035c66 KVM: Let KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK work as advertised
KVM API says for the signal mask you set via KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, that
"any unblocked signal received [...] will cause KVM_RUN to return with
-EINTR" and that "the signal will only be delivered if not blocked by
the original signal mask".

This, however, is only true, when the calling task has a signal handler
registered for a signal. If not, signal evaluation is short-circuited for
SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL, and the signal is either ignored without KVM_RUN
returning or the whole process is terminated.

Make KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK behave as advertised by utilizing logic similar
to that in do_sigtimedwait() to avoid short-circuiting of signals.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
