3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> commit 9d42d48a342aee208c1154696196497fdc556bbf upstream. The native (64-bit) sigval_t union contains sival_int (32-bit) and sival_ptr (64-bit). When a compat application invokes a syscall that takes a sigval_t value (as part of a larger structure, e.g. compat_sys_mq_notify, compat_sys_timer_create), the compat_sigval_t union is converted to the native sigval_t with sival_int overlapping with either the least or the most significant half of sival_ptr, depending on endianness. When the corresponding signal is delivered to a compat application, on big endian the current (compat_uptr_t)sival_ptr cast always returns 0 since sival_int corresponds to the top part of sival_ptr. This patch fixes copy_siginfo_to_user32() so that sival_int is copied to the compat_siginfo_t structure.
