Linus Torvalds ba9f6f8954 Merge branch 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
  that work.

  The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
  been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
  specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
  new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
  difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
  fields.

  At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
  the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
  bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
  definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
  bytes.

  This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
  For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
  can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
  rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
  si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
  used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
  the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
  verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.

  I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
  anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
  I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
  to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.

  Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
  sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
  complexity necessary to handle that case.

  Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
  number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
  will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
  have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
  signal numbers are handled"
