Hmm. Now it is me who is missing context. And probably I misunderstood
the original question:

Kernel delivers an extra SIGTRAP to tracee after execve syscall
returns. This is an ordinary signal
...
??? can this SIGTRAP be distinguished from "real" user-generated SIGTRAP
by looking at its siginfo?

I meant, we can't distinguish this SIGTRAP. But if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is
set then the tracee reports PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC, this is probably
distinguishible. IIUC, si_code > 0 if the tracee reports an event.

Oleg.
