Previously, seccomp filters were released in release_task(), which required the process to exit and its zombie to be collected. However, exited threads/processes can't trigger any seccomp events, making it more logical to release filters upon task exits. This adjustment simplifies scenarios where a parent is tracing its child process. The parent process can now handle all events from a seccomp listening descriptor and then call wait to collect a child zombie. seccomp_filter_release takes the siglock to avoid races with seccomp_sync_threads. There was an idea to bypass taking the lock by checking PF_EXITING, but it can be set without holding siglock if threads have SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. This means it can happen concurently with seccomp_filter_release. This change also fixes another minor problem. Suppose that a group leader installs the new filter without SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC, exits, and becomes a zombie. Without this change, SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC from any other thread can never succeed, seccomp_can_sync_threads() will check a zombie leader and is_ancestor() will fail.

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 reStructuredText 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.
