That is, I'm proposing an API that looks like this:

int process_kill(int procfs_dfd, int signo, const union sigval value)

I've started a second tree with process_signal(int procpid_dfd, int sig)

Thanks.

instead of an ioctl(). Why do you want sigval too?

API completeness. The sigqueue interface is a superset of kill, and I
don't want process_kill to do less than any PID-based kill. Maybe
taking a siginfo_t, like rt_sigqueueinfo does, would be even better in
that respect, come to think of it.
