Are you sure these two are identical?

The above code fragment looks suspicious anyway, particularly:

 	frame = (struct rt_sigframe __user *)
 		round_down(stack_top - sizeof(struct rt_sigframe), 16) - 8;

which will put the frame at 8 * sizeof(struct rt_sigframe) below
the point which round_down() would return (which would be 1 struct
rt_sigframe below stack_top, rounded down).
