Track how many threads have not started exiting and when the last thread starts exiting set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. This guarantees that SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT will get set when a process exits. In practice this achieves nothing as glibc's implementation of _exit calls sys_group_exit then sys_exit. While glibc's implemenation of pthread_exit calls exit (which cleansup and calls _exit) if it is the last thread and sys_exit if it is the last thread. This means the only way the kernel might observe a process that does not set call exit_group is if the language runtime does not use glibc. With more cleanups I hope to move the decrement of quick_threads earlier. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87bkukd4tc.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
