[1]). Instead, pidfd_send_signal() currently silently changes this to a regular kill signal. While this is technically fine, the semantics are weird since the kernel just silently converts a user's request behind their back and also no other signal sending function allows to do this. It gets more hairy when we introduce sending signals to a specific thread soon. So let's align pidfd_send_signal() with all the other signal sending functions and error out when SI_USER signals are sent to a non-current task" * tag 'pidfd-fixes-v5.1-rc3' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: signal: don't silently convert SI_USER signals to non-current pidfd
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
