NAME

trace_signal_generate - called when a signal is generated

SYNOPSIS

void trace_signal_generate(int sig, struct siginfo * info, struct task_struct * task);

ARGUMENTS

sig

info

: pointer to struct siginfo

task

: pointer to struct task_struct

DESCRIPTION

Current process sends a 'sig' signal to 'task' process with 'info' siginfo. If 'info' is SEND_SIG_NOINFO or SEND_SIG_PRIV, 'info' is not a pointer and you can't access its field. Instead, SEND_SIG_NOINFO means that si_code is SI_USER, and SEND_SIG_PRIV means that si_code is SI_KERNEL.
