Subject: [PATCH v2 1/8] security: Add LSM hook at the point where a task gets a fatal signal
Add a security hook that allows a LSM to be notified when a task gets a
fatal signal. This patch is a previous step on the way to compute the
task crash period by the "brute" LSM (linux security module to detect
and mitigate fork brute force attack against vulnerable userspace
processes).
