## NAME

trace\_signal\_generate - called when a signal is generated

## 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.
