In a heavily loaded container, the child process might not started
before the parent process had terminated. The child process attempts to
signal the parent with SIGUSR1. If the parent had terminated, the
parent becomes PID 1, which is generally init. When it signaled pid 1,
it caused the docker mini-init to terminate.
This doesn't happen in a traditional system, as systemd/sysvinit is
protected to only root users can signal it.

+Subject: [PATCH] Don't send SIGUSR1 to init.
+
+If the parent exits due to child process being slow, getppid() will return
+1, and we'll send SIGUSR1 to init, which can break things like dumbinit
+which aren't adequately protected against non-root processes sending them
+signals.

+[YOCTO #10324]
+
+This resolves an issue where a docker container running builds would die
+due to it's 'mini init' being signaled by pseudo.
