Linus,

Please pull the for-v5.13-rc2 branch from the git tree:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git for-v5.13-rc2

  HEAD: addd6821190ebf1e9fece0b7848db667fd280e2e signalfd: Remove SIL_FAULT_PERF_EVENT fields from signalfd_siginfo

During the merge window an issue with si_perf and the siginfo ABI came
up.  The alpha and sparc siginfo structure layout had changed with the
addition of SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF and the new field si_perf.

The reason only alpha and sparc were affected is that they are the
only architectures that use si_trapno.

Looking deeper it was discovered that si_trapno is used for only
a few select signals on alpha and sparc, and that none of the
other _sigfault fields past si_addr are used at all.  Which means
technically no regression on alpha and sparc.

While the alignment concerns might be dismissed the abuse of
si_errno by SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF does have the potential to cause
regressions in existing userspace.

While we still have time before userspace starts using and depending on
the new definition siginfo for SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF this set of changes
cleans up siginfo_t.

- The si_trapno field is demoted from magic alpha and sparc status and
  made an ordinary union member of the _sigfault member of siginfo_t.
  Without moving it of course.

- si_perf is replaced with si_perf_data and si_perf_type ending the
  abuse of si_errno.

- BUILD_BUG_ONs are added and various helpers are modified to
  accommodate this change.

- Unnecessary additions to signalfd_siginfo are removed.

You might notice a recent rebase.  This code has been sitting in
linux-next as  ef566ba2d7d9 ("signal: Remove the last few si_perf
references").  Which results in the exact same code as the branch
I am sending you but the commits differ to keep git bisect working.

The difference is that I squashed a fix for a mips BUILD_BUG_ON about
si_perf into the commit that replaces si_perf with si_perf_data and
si_perf_type.  This keeps the kernel building on all architectures for
all commits keeping git-bisect working for everyone.

Eric W. Biederman (9):
      signal: Verify the alignment and size of siginfo_t
      siginfo: Move si_trapno inside the union inside _si_fault
      signal: Implement SIL_FAULT_TRAPNO
      signal: Use dedicated helpers to send signals with si_trapno set
      signal: Remove __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO
      signal: Rename SIL_PERF_EVENT SIL_FAULT_PERF_EVENT for consistency
      signal: Factor force_sig_perf out of perf_sigtrap
      signal: Deliver all of the siginfo perf data in _perf
      signalfd: Remove SIL_FAULT_PERF_EVENT fields from signalfd_siginfo

Marco Elver (3):
      sparc64: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
      arm: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
      arm64: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
