From f71dd7dc2dc989dc712b246a74d243e4b2c5f8a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2018 14:37:25 -0600 Subject: signal/ptrace: Add force_sig_ptrace_errno_trap and use it where needed There are so many places that build struct siginfo by hand that at least one of them is bound to get it wrong. A handful of cases in the kernel arguably did just that when using the errno field of siginfo to pass no errno values to userspace. The usage is limited to a single si_code so at least does not mess up anything else. Encapsulate this questionable pattern in a helper function so that the userspace ABI is preserved. Update all of the places that use this pattern to use the new helper function. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
