Hi all,
After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) failed like this:
In file included from /home/sfr/next/next/include/linux/linkage.h:4:0,

Caused by commit
21c0826ab237 ("kernel/signal.c: add compile-time check for __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE")
interacting with commit
cd0ea35ff551 ("signals, pkeys: Notify userspace about protection key faults")
from the tip tree.
The addition of the "u64 _pkey" has presumably changed the alignment of
the enclosing union on (some) 32 bit platforms and so added padding
after the si_code field. This is a user API issue. :-(
[As an aside, I am pretty sure that we should not be using "u64" in a
uapi header in any case.]
I have added the following patch for today (and will add it to the tip
tree merge from Monday unless some other fix comes along).
From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 16:31:36 +1100
Subject: [PATCH] signals, pkeys: make si_pkey 32 bits for now
to prevent a change of alignment in the siginfo structure
Fixes: cd0ea35ff551 ("signals, pkeys: Notify userspace about protection key faults")
