I don't know. I am fine either way, but I think this needs a separate
patch and another discussion in any case. Anyway should be trivial,
pidfd_send_signal() has the "flags" argument.
On a related note, should copy_process(CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD) add
PIDFD_THREAD flag "automatically" depending on CLONE_THREAD? Or do we
want another CLONE_PIDFD_THREAD flag so that PIDFD_THREAD can be used
without CLONE_THREAD? Again, I do not know, needs another discussion.

OK, thanks, I'll send v2 in a minute. The patch is the same, I only
updated the comments.
Oleg.
