Thanks for the pointer.

Nit: Please ensure that the commit message makes sense without the
subject line, so that users of Mutt etc., can see all necessary context
in the message body when drafting a reply.

Nit: missing space.

Also, while "user<blah>" seemed OK as a local variable name, it now
looks rather obscure as a function parameter name, since the meaning of
the parameter is not so obvious.

"users" is really the total sigframe size, so "sf_size" may be a
reasonable name.

"extrap" might be a slightly better name for "userp", since this is not
a general-purpose cursor and must point to the base address computed for
the extra_context block.

(I'm open to better suggestions though.)

Nit: no space after (type *) please.

Also, can we have (char __user *)?  This is more "correct" because these
arguments are not valid kernel pointers.  Keeping the __user may avoid
sparse warnings.  (I've not tried to build the code yet, so I don't know
whether sparse actually complains about __user being cast on and off
here.)

The code here looks reasonably correct, but there is a lot of
unnecessary duplication of code that should really be common.

This code is security-critical and tricky to get right, so we don't
want to have to maintain and test two independent implementations of
anything if we can possibly avoid it.

I think there may at least one change in the LP64 code that has not
been propagated here (the call to
fpsimd_signal_preserve_current_state() in setup_rt_frame()).  There
will likely be more such cases in the future.

I think much of the duplication here flows from the fact that this
struct currently has a different type for ILP32 versus LP64, even
though all the important contents of the structure are equivalent for
the two cases.

Can we replace the sigframe pointer with a void __user *, or union {
	struct rt_sigframe __user *;
	struct ilp32_rt_sigframe __user *;
} ?

Putting a pointer to sigcontext in here may also help, since it
looks the same for both cases: only its location changes (I think).


This would allow us to use the same sigframe_user_layout struct for
the lp64 and ilp32 cases, which will make it easier to share code.

The __reserved[] and extra_context blocks and the records in them
should be handled identically for the two ABIs: the only thing that
should differ is the offset of __reserved[] in the complete signal
frame.


We should try hard to make as much code as possible generic here.  I
won't comment on the individual functions for now: I think they can
all be mostly or completely eliminated.
