    signal: Properly deliver SIGILL from uprobes · 55a3235f
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    For userspace to tell the difference between a random signal and an
    exception, the exception must include siginfo information.
    
    Using SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGILL is thus wrong, and it will result
    in userspace seeing si_code == SI_USER (like a random signal) instead
    of si_code == SI_KERNEL or a more specific si_code as all exceptions
    deliver.
    
    Therefore replace force_sig_info(SIGILL, SEND_SIG_FORCE, current)
    with force_sig(SIG_ILL, current) which gets this right and is
    shorter and easier to type.
