[11/16] ptrace: Use si_sino as the signal number to resume with

Commit Message

Eric W. Biederman May 18, 2022, 10:53 p.m. UTC

The signal number to resume with is already in si_signo.  So instead
of placing an extra copy in tsk->exit_code and later reading the extra
copy from tsk->exit_code just read si_signo.

Read si_signo in ptrace_do_notify where it is easy as the siginfo is a
local variable.  Only ptrace_report_syscall cares about the signal to
resume with from ptrace_stop and it calls ptrace_notify which calls
ptrace_do_notify so moving the actual work into ptrace_do_notify where
it is easier is not a problem.

With ptrace_stop not being involved in returning the signal to tracer
asked the tracee to resume with remove the comment and the return
code from ptrace_stop.
