Subject: [PATCH] parisc: compat Fix siginfo_t -> compat_siginfo_t conversion on big endian
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2015 21:00:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150315200041.GA10927@ls3530.box> (raw)

This patch is basically the same as commit 9d42d48 from Catalin Marinas
but adopted to the parisc architecture.

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.
