[PATCH v2 1/7] signal.h: Define SIGINFO on all architectures
From: Arseny Maslennikov
Date: Tue Jun 25 2019 - 12:12:42 EST
This complementary patch defines SIGINFO as a synonym for SIGPWR
on every architecture supported by the kernel.
The particular signal number chosen does not really matter and is only
required for the related tty functionality to work properly,
so if it does not suite expectations, any suggestions are warmly
welcome.
SIGPWR looks like a nice candidate for this role, because it is
defined on every supported arch and is already defined as a synonym
for SIGINFO on alpha; SIGPWR is currently only used to inform
PID 1 of power failures, and daemons that care about low-level
events do not tend to have a controlling terminal.
However, on sparcs SIGPWR is a synonym for SIGLOST, a signal unique
to that architecture, with a narrow set of intended uses that do not
combine well with interactively requesting status.
SIGLOST is not used by any kernel code at the moment.
I'm not sure there is a more reasonable alternative right now.
