I guess all the performance issues got sorted, since I haven't seen
any reports from the test robots.

I do end up with two questions, mainly because of looking at the
result of the conflict resolution.

In particular, in __sigqueue_alloc(), two oddities..

Why the "sigpending < LONG_MAX" test in that

if (override_rlimit || (sigpending < LONG_MAX && sigpending <=
task_rlimit(t, RLIMIT_SIGPENDING))) {

thing?

And why test for "ucounts" being non-NULL in

if (ucounts && dec_rlimit_ucounts(ucounts,
UCOUNT_RLIMIT_SIGPENDING, 1))
put_ucounts(ucounts);

when afaik both of those should be happy with a NULL 'ucounts' pointer
(if it was NULL, we certainly already used it for the reverse
operations for get_ucounts() and inc_rlimit_ucounts()..)

Hmm?

And somebody should verify that I didn't screw anything up in my merge
resolution. It all looked very straightforward, but mistakes happen..
