Description

I'm getting:

Feb 24 16:00:16 admin podman[20703]: time="2020-02-24T16:00:16+01:00" level=error msg="container_linux.go:389: signaling init process caused \"permission denied\"" 
Feb 24 16:00:16 admin podman[20703]: container_linux.go:389: signaling init process caused "permission denied" 
Feb 24 16:00:16 admin podman[20703]: Error: permission denied

But which signal caused this? Unfortunately the error message doesn't contain the actual signal.

Research direction

Start at container_linux.go:389, where the reported "signaling init process" error is emitted, and trace how the signal failure is returned. Determine which signal information is available at that point and make the error identify it. Verify the resulting error output with the relevant runc process-signaling tests, if present.
