The following changes are available at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git siginfo-testing
This set of changes unifies struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo so
that there is only one definition of each. Additionally this ends up
with a single implementation of copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_from_user32.
This results in much less code, that might be slightly less readable as
it handles all of the cases it needs to deal with instead of just a few.
Not a single implementation of copy_siginfo_to_user32 or
copy_siginfo_from_user32 handled all of the ways data is encoded in
struct siginfo today.
Hopefully this will result in much more maintainable code.
Al Viro (3):
signal/mips: switch mips to generic siginfo
signal: kill __ARCH_SI_UID_T
signal: unify compat_siginfo_t
Eric W. Biederman (19):
signal: Document all of the signals that use the _sigfault union member
signal: Document the strange si_codes used by ptrace event stops
signal: Document glibc's si_code of SI_ASYNCNL
signal: Ensure no siginfo union member increases the size of struct siginfo
signal: Clear si_sys_private before copying siginfo to userspace
signal: Remove _sys_private and _overrun_incr from struct compat_siginfo
ia64/signal: switch to generic struct siginfo
signal/ia64: switch the last arch-specific copy_siginfo_to_user() to generic version
signal: Remove unnecessary ifdefs now that there is only one struct siginfo
signal: Move addr_lsb into the _sigfault union for clarity
signal/powerpc: Remove redefinition of NSIGTRAP on powerpc
signal/ia64: Move the ia64 specific si_codes to asm-generic/siginfo.h
signal/frv: Move the frv specific si_codes to asm-generic/siginfo.h
signal/tile: Move the tile specific si_codes to asm-generic/siginfo.h
signal/blackfin: Move the blackfin specific si_codes to asm-generic/siginfo.h
signal/blackfin: Remove pointless UID16_SIGINFO_COMPAT_NEEDED
signal: Unify and correct copy_siginfo_from_user32
signal: Remove the code to clear siginfo before calling copy_siginfo_from_user32
signal: Unify and correct copy_siginfo_to_user32
