From 9b1bf12d5d51bca178dea21b04a0805e29d60cf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KOSAKI Motohiro Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:34:08 -0700 Subject: signals: move cred_guard_mutex from task_struct to signal_struct Oleg Nesterov pointed out we have to prevent multiple-threads-inside-exec itself and we can reuse ->cred_guard_mutex for it. Yes, concurrent execve() has no worth. Let's move ->cred_guard_mutex from task_struct to signal_struct. It naturally prevent multiple-threads-inside-exec.
