Merge tag 'pidfd-fixes-v5.2-rc4' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd fixes from Christian Brauner:
"The contains two small patches to the pidfd samples and test binaries
respectively.
They were lacking appropriate ifdefines for __NR_pidfd_send_signal and
could hence lead to compilation errors when that was not defined.
This was spotted on mips independently by Guenter Roeck (who was kind
enough to send a fix for the samples binary) and Arnd who spotted it
in linux-next.
Apart from these two patches, there's also a patch to update the
comments for the pidfd_send_signal() syscall which were slightly
wrong/inconsistenly worded"
* tag 'pidfd-fixes-v5.2-rc4' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux:
tests: fix pidfd-test compilation
signal: improve comments
samples: fix pidfd-metadata compilation
