Reset all signal handlers of the child not set to SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL. Mutually exclusive with CLONE_SIGHAND to not disturb other thread's signal handler. In the spirit of closer cooperation between glibc developers and kernel developers (cf. [2]) this patchset came out of a discussion on the glibc mailing list for improving posix_spawn() (cf. [1], [3], [4]). Kernel support for this feature has been explicitly requested by glibc and I see no reason not to help them with this. The child helper process on Linux posix_spawn must ensure that no signal handlers are enabled, so the signal disposition must be either SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN. However, it requires a sigprocmask to obtain the current signal mask and at least _NSIG sigaction calls to reset the signal handlers for each posix_spawn call or complex state tracking that might lead to data corruption in glibc. Adding this flags lets glibc avoid these problems.

They should be copied on patches containing ABI changes, for example. I noted that there are often times where C-library developers wish the kernel community had done things differently; how could those be avoided in the future? Members of the audience suggested that more glibc developers should perhaps join the linux-api list. The other suggestion was to "copy Florian on everything".'
