This bisect to here for me:

commit f149b31557446aff9ca96d4be7e39cc266f6e7cc
Author: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

signal: Never allocate siginfo for SIGKILL or SIGSTOP

The SIGKILL and SIGSTOP signals are never delivered to userspace so
queued siginfo for these signals can never be observed. Therefore
remove the chance of failure by never even attempting to allocate
siginfo in those cases.

They are certainly visible via seccomp ;)
