If the tracer calls PTRACE_SETSIGINFO it only has an effect if the tracee is stopped in ptrace_signal.
When one of PTRACE_DETACH, PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK, PTRACE_SYSEMU, PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP, PTRACE_SYSCALL, or PTRACE_CONT pass in a signel number to continue with the kernel validates that signal number and the ptrace_signal verifies the signal number matches the si_signo, before the siginfo is used. As the signal number to continue with is verified to be a valid signal number the signal number in si_signo must be a valid signal number. Make this obvious and avoid needing checks later by immediately clearing siginfo if si_signo is not valid. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
