Huh? Negative si_code comes from rt_sigqueueinfo(2); in that case the sucker is supposed to pass user-supplied opaque chunk of data in ->_sifields._pad. "Copy everything when ->si_code is negative" is exactly the right behaviour. Failing to copy it out (and in, for copy_siginfo_from_user32()) is a bug. 32bit tasks should behave on 64bit host like they would on 32bit one when we have biarch compat. And "application using sigqueueinfo() to pass data might be using different layouts of the payload" is not an excuse for failing to transmit it in the first place.
