                                                                    ^^^^

No, we should not throw out the useful info, please use

	signal->group_exit_code ?: code

as the current code does.

And I am worried atomic_dec_and_test() is called too early...

Say, acct_process() can report the exit while some sub-thread sleeps
in PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT? I'd prefer to not move it up too much, at least
before exit_signals().

Oleg.
