[Linux-ia64] Possible bug in siginfo64to32()

[Linux-ia64] Possible bug in siginfo64to32()

[David Engebretsen]

Although I do not work on linux-ia64, I believe we found a bug bringing up
PPC64 with some regression tests that also exists in the IA64 code that
someone might want to look into.

In arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c, the function siginfo64to32(siginfo_t32 *d,
...)
does the following:
   memset(&d, 0, sizeof(siginfo_t32));

Seems like the &d should just be d.

Is this a legitimate bug, or are we missing something here?

Thanks -

Dave-

Certainly looks like a bug to me.  Makes you wonder how the code ever
worked.

Thanks for spotting it.
