From 9cd4fd10437dda6b520cb1410b28f36967a34de8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:42:46 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] SEND_SIG_NOINFO: set si_pid to tgid instead of pid POSIX requires the si_pid to be the process id of the sender, so ->si_pid should really be set to 'tgid'. This change does have following changes in behavior: - When sending pdeath_signal on re-parent to a sub-thread, ->si_pid cannot be used to identify the thread that did the re-parent since it will now show the tgid instead of thread id. - A multi-threaded application that expects to find the specific thread that encountered a SIGPIPE using the ->si_pid will now break.
