Relax si_code check in rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo
Commit da48524 ("Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal code") made the check on si_code too strict. There are several legitimate places where glibc wants to queue a negative si_code different from SI_QUEUE: - This was first noticed with glibc's aio implementation, which wants to queue a signal with si_code SI_ASYNCIO; the current kernel causes glibc's tst-aio4 test to fail because rt_sigqueueinfo() fails with EPERM. - Further examination of the glibc source shows that getaddrinfo_a() wants to use SI_ASYNCNL (which the kernel does not even define). The timer_create() fallback code wants to queue signals with SI_TIMER. As suggested by Oleg Nesterov <[email protected]>, loosen the check to forbid only the problematic SI_TKILL case.
