Yes. I assume this should not be a problem since c/r needs to ptrace
the task anyway?

Yes. Except I'd say "PTRACE_PEEK_SHARED | i" to clarify that
PTRACE_PEEK_SHARED is "flag". Note that we can more flags, say,
PTRACE_PEEK_DEQUEUE which obviously means "dequeue signal" (but in
this case we should filter out SIGKILL/SIGSTOP).

And note that either way (I mean ptrace or signalfd) this can not
actually peek a signal which doesn't have the sigqueue (say,
SEND_SIG_FORCED). I guess this is not the problem, c/r can look
at /proc/pid/status#*Pnd aditionally.

OK, you seem to agree with this approach, I'll try to make the
working patch tomorrow. At least ptrace_peek_signal() needs another
is_compat argument for compat_ptrace_request().
