You are right we do not store any valuable information in sigingo_t now.
However, We hope more information can be recorded by force_sig_fault()
as below instead of calling force_sig() directly.

-        force_sig(SIGILL, current);
+        force_sig_fault(SIGILL, ILL_ILLTRP,
+                        (void __user *)instruction_pointer(regs), current);

Thanks
