The current sys_pidfd_send_signal() silently turns signals with explicit SI_USER context that are sent to non-current tasks into signals with kernel-generated siginfo. This is unlike do_rt_sigqueueinfo(), which returns -EPERM in this case. If a user actually wants to send a signal with kernel-provided siginfo, they can do that with pidfd_send_signal(pidfd, sig, NULL, 0); so allowing this case is unnecessary. Instead of silently replacing the siginfo, just bail out with an error; this is consistent with other interfaces and avoids special-casing behavior based on security checks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
