[ Upstream commit 5c251e9dc0 ]
This is in preparation for maintaining signal_pending() as the decider of
whether or not a schedule() loop should be broken, or continue sleeping.
This is different than the core signal use cases, which really need to know
whether an actual signal is pending or not. task_sigpending() returns
non-zero if TIF_SIGPENDING is set.
Only core kernel use cases should care about the distinction between
the two, make sure those use the task_sigpending() helper.

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.
