Bug Description
[Impact]
kill11 from ubuntu_ltp_syscalls is always timing out when executed by autotest. It never fails when executed manually from a regular command line session.
The reason is that python overwrites the signal handler for SIGXFSZ, blocking the delivery of this signal to any forked task, causing kill11 to time out.
[Test case]
$ sudo ./autotest/
Check that kill11 is failing (timing out).
[Fix]
Fix by restoring the default signal handler of SIGXFSZ before running the test.
[Regression potential]
None. We should actually consider to apply a more generic change, so that all test won't be affected by the same problem.
