Thanks, I did not know about prctl. Perfect, though how it will behave if there are children that were cloned with CLONE_VM and forked (cloned without CLONE_VM). I think that the signal will be delivered to all of them.
How about an option to deliver signal only to children that were cloned only
with CLONE_VM?
