The generic copy_siginfo() is currently defined in
asm-generic/siginfo.h, after including uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h which
defines the generic struct siginfo. However this makes it awkward for an
architecture to use it if it has to define its own struct siginfo (e.g.
MIPS and potentially IA64), since it means that asm-generic/siginfo.h
can only be included after defining the arch-specific siginfo, which may
be problematic if the arch-specific definition needs definitions from
uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h.It is possible to work around this by first including
uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h to get the constants before defining the
arch-specific siginfo, and include asm-generic/siginfo.h after. However
uapi headers can't be included by other uapi headers, so that first
include has to be in an ifdef __kernel__, with the non __kernel__ case
including the non-UAPI header instead.Instead of that mess, move the generic copy_siginfo() definition into
linux/signal.h, which allows an arch-specific uapi/asm/siginfo.h to
include asm-generic/siginfo.h and define the arch-specific siginfo, and
for the generic copy_siginfo() to see that arch-specific definition.Signed-off-by: James Hogan

For the particular issue of x32, which shares code with i386 in the
handling of compat_siginfo_t, the use of a 64-bit clock_t bumps the
sigchld structure out of alignment, which triggers a messy cascade of
padding.This was already handled on the kernel compat side, but it needs
handling on the user space side, which uses the generic header. To
make that possible:1. Allow __kernel_clock_t to be overridden in struct siginfo;
2. Allow there to be attributes added to struct siginfo.Reported-by: H.J. Lu

Adds a new return value to seccomp filters that triggers a SIGSYS to be
delivered with the new SYS_SECCOMP si_code.This allows in-process system call emulation, including just specifying
an errno or cleanly dumping core, rather than just dying.Suggested-by: Markus Gutschke

This change enables SIGSYS, defines _sigfields._sigsys, and adds
x86 (compat) arch support. _sigsys defines fields which allow
a signal handler to receive the triggering system call number,
the relevant AUDIT_ARCH_* value for that number, and the address
of the callsite.SIGSYS is added to the SYNCHRONOUS_MASK because it is desirable for it
to have setup_frame() called for it. The goal is to ensure that
ucontext_t reflects the machine state from the time-of-syscall and not
from another signal handler.The first consumer of SIGSYS would be seccomp filter. In particular,
a filter program could specify a new return value, SECCOMP_RET_TRAP,
which would result in the system call being denied and the calling
thread signaled. This also means that implementing arch-specific
support can be dependent upon HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER.Suggested-by: H. Peter Anvin

Add new SIGBUS codes for reporting machine checks as signals. When
the hardware detects an uncorrected ECC error it can trigger these
signals.This is needed for telling KVM's qemu about machine checks that happen to
guests, so that it can inject them, but might be also useful for other programs.
I find it useful in my test programs.This patch merely defines the new types.
- Define two new si_codes for SIGBUS. BUS_MCEERR_AO and BUS_MCEERR_AR
* BUS_MCEERR_AO is for "Action Optional" machine checks, which means that some
corruption has been detected in the background, but nothing has been consumed
so far. The program can ignore those if it wants (but most programs would
already get killed)
* BUS_MCEERR_AR is for "Action Required" machine checks. This happens
when corrupted data is consumed or the application ran into an area
which has been known to be corrupted earlier. These require immediate
action and cannot just returned to. Most programs would kill themselves.
- They report the address of the corruption in the user address space
in si_addr.
- Define a new si_addr_lsb field that reports the extent of the corruption
to user space. That's currently always a (small) page. The user application
cannot tell where in this page the corruption happened.AK: I plan to write a man page update before anyone asks.

forgot to update the NSIGTRAP define in asm-generic/siginfo.h to the new
number of sigtrap subcodes. Nothing in the tree seems to use it, but
presumably something in user space might. So update it.Cc: Srinivasa Ds

A number of standard posix types are used in exported headers, which
is not allowed if __STRICT_KERNEL_NAMES is defined. In order to
get rid of the non-__STRICT_KERNEL_NAMES part and to make sane headers
the default, we have to change them all to safe types.There are also still some leftovers in reiserfs_fs.h, elfcore.h
and coda.h, but these files have not compiled in user space for
a long time.This leaves out the various integer types ({u_,u,}int{8,16,32,64}_t),
which we take care of separately.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

Currently a SIGTRAP can denote any one of below reasons.
- Breakpoint hit
- H/W debug register hit
- Single step
- Signal sent through kill() or rasie()Architectures like powerpc/parisc provides infrastructure to demultiplex
SIGTRAP signal by passing down the information for receiving SIGTRAP through
si_code of siginfot_t structure. Here is an attempt is generalise this
infrastructure by extending it to x86 and x86_64 archs.Signed-off-by: Srinivasa DS

this patch (among others).The preamble in struct sigevent can be expressed independently of the
architecture.Also use __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE on ia64.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
