Looking at the kernel code the historical behavior has alwasy been to prefer
the signal number passed in by the kernel.
So sigh. Implmenet __copy_siginfo_from_user and __copy_siginfo_from_user32 to
take that signal number and prefer it. The user of ptrace will still
use copy_siginfo_from_user and copy_siginfo_from_user32 as they do not and
never have had a signal number there.
Luckily this change has never made it farther than linux-next.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
