[PATCH v2 00/20] Fix handling of compat_siginfo_t

[Amanieu d'Antras]

The current handling of compat_siginfo_t is a mess: each architecture has its
own implementation, all of which are incorrect in different ways. This patch
series replaces all of the arch-specific versions with a single generic one that
is guaranteed to produce the same results as a 32-bit kernel.

Most architectures are able to use the generic compat_siginfo_t, except x86 and
MIPS. MIPS uses a slightly different compat_siginfo_t structure for ABI reasons
but can still use the generic copy_siginfo_{to,from}_user32. x86 can't use the
generic versions because it needs special handling for __SI_CHLD for x32 tasks.

One issue that isn't resolved in this series is sending signals between a 32-bit
process and 64-bit process. Sending a si_int will work correctly, but a si_ptr
value will likely get corrupted due to the different layouts of the 32-bit and
64-bit siginfo_t structures.

signalfd_copyinfo was also modified to properly generate data for compat tasks.
In particular the ssi_ptr and ssi_data members need to be sign-extended to 64
bits rather than zero-extended, since that is the behavior in 32-bit kernels.

This series has been tested on x86_64 and arm64.

Changes since v1:
- Properly copy padding bytes and avoid leaking uninitialized data to userspace
- Fixed compile errors on mips and powerpc
- Fixed some compiler warnings
- Fixed some formatting issues
