[PATCH 25/26] signal: In ptrace_stop use CLD_TRAPPED in all ptrace signals
From: Eric W. Biederman

If the only job of the signal is to report a ptrace level event set
si_code to CLD_TRAPPED instead of possibly CLD_STOPPED.
This causes the siginfo of the signals that are sent to match the
signinfo of the signals returned by waitid.
This is a user visible difference but I don't expect anything will
care.
In fact this is a return to historical linux behavior. In linux 2.4.0
all ptrace stops were reported through do_notify_parent with
CLD_TRAPPED. When do_notify_parent_cldstop was added the CLD_TRAPPED
logic was not included and CLD_TRAPPED for ptrace stops was lost. As
nothing was said about this case I assume it was an oversight.
When waitid was added a little earlier all stops were being
reported with do_notify_parent and all ptrace stops were setting
CLD_TRAPPED. So initially signals and waitid were in sync with
respect to setting CLD_TRAPPED.
It is also worth knowing that posix uses documents CLD_TRAPPED
as "Traced child has trapped."
