From afe8448c0d9db1e1ffaa4a130a7df5f5e63b7188 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2017 10:55:19 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] signal/x86/traps: Use force_sig instead of open coding it. The function "force_sig(sig, tsk)" is equivalent to " force_sig_info(sig, SEND_SIG_PRIV, tsk)". Using the siginfo variants can be error prone so use the simpler old fashioned force_sig variant, and with luck the force_sig_info variant can go away.
