[PATCH] ptrace: add ability to retrieve signals without removing from a queue (v2)

[Andrey Vagin]

This patch adds a new ptrace request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO.

This request is used to retrieve information about signals starting with
the specified sequence number. Siginfo_t structures are copied from the
child into the buffer starting at "data".

The argument "addr" is a pointer to struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args.
struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args {
	u64 off;	/* from which siginfo to start */
	u32 nr;		/* how may siginfos to take */
	u32 flags;
};

Currently here is only one flag PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO_SHARED for dumping
signals from process-wide shared queue. If this flag is not set, a
signal is read from a per-thread queue.  A result siginfo contains a
kernel part of si_code which usually striped, but it's required for
queuing the same siginfo back during restore of pending signals.

The request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO returns a number of dumped signals.
If a signal with the specified sequence number doesn't exist, ptrace
returns 0.

This functionality is required for checkpointing pending signals.

The prototype of this code was developed by Oleg Nesterov.

v2: * don't wrapped on CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. This functionality is
      going to be used in gdb.
    * use ptrace_peeksiginfo_args, because addr is too small for
      encoding a signal number and flags.
