I don't think is is worth having that full table when we only use a few 
of them. (As discussed in v1 https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/948802/)

I would suggest to instead use a function like this:

static const char *signame(int signr)
{
	if (signr == SIGBUS)
		return "bus error";
	if (signr == SIGFPE)
		return "floating point exception";
	if (signr == SIGILL)
		return "illegal instruction";
	if (signr == SIGILL)
		return "segfault";
	if (signr == SIGTRAP)
		return "unhandled trap";
	return "unknown signal";
}
