Description of problem:
It seems that raise is implemented as tkill, as evidenced by the fact
that for sigaction handlers, si_code is set to SI_TKILL for raise()ed
signals, when the manpages for sigaction indicate that raise should
cause si_code to be set to SI_USER instead.          
                                                                     
          
I would think that SI_USER is the more standards correct flag to set
for raise..

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.3.2-101.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>

void action_hdlr(int sig, siginfo_t *si, void *p)
{
    fprintf(stderr, "%d\n", si->si_code);
    exit(0);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    struct sigaction sa;

    sa.sa_handler =0;
    sa.sa_flags = SA_RESTART | SA_SIGINFO;
    sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
    sa.sa_sigaction = action_hdlr;
    sigaction(SIGILL, &sa, NULL);
    raise(SIGILL);
}


Actual Results:  -6 is printed, which is the si_code for SI_TKILL, not
SI_USER, as expected.

Expected Results:  SI_USER's value should be printed.. which is 0.

Additional info:

I haven't looked at the source for raise, but be wary just changing
that tkill.. It may exist for threads to be able to use raise() nicely..
