This patch adds a new ptrace request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO.
This request is used to retrieve information about a signal with the
specified sequence number. A siginfo_t structure is copied from the child
to location data in the parent.
The low 16 bits of addr contains a sequence number of signal in a queue.
All other bits of addr is used for flags. Currently here is only one
flag PTRACE_PEEK_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.
If a signal with the specified sequence number doesn't exist, ptrace
returns ENOENT.
This functionality is required for checkpointing pending signals.
The prototype of this code was developed by Oleg Nesterov.
