Commit f149b31557 ("signal: Never allocate siginfo for SIGKILL or SIGSTOP")
means that the seccomp selftest cannot check si_pid under SIGSTOP anymore.
Since it's believed[1] there are no other userspace things depending on the
old behavior, this removes the behavioral check in the selftest, since it's
more a "extra" sanity check (which turns out, maybe, not to have been
useful to test).

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.
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.
