[PATCH] Fix breakage in MIPS siginfo handling

From: David Howells
Date: Tue Mar 19 2013 - 11:01:09 EST


MIPS's siginfo handling has been broken since this commit:

commit 574c4866e33d648520a8bd5bf6f573ea6e554e88
Author: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun Nov 25 22:24:19 2012 -0500
consolidate kernel-side struct sigaction declarations

for 64-bit BE MIPS CPUs.

The UAPI variant looks like this:

struct sigaction {
unsigned int sa_flags;
__sighandler_t sa_handler;
sigset_t sa_mask;
};

but the core kernel's variant looks like this:

struct sigaction {
#ifndef __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION
__sighandler_t sa_handler;
unsigned long sa_flags;
#else
unsigned long sa_flags;
__sighandler_t sa_handler;
#endif
#ifdef __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER
__sigrestore_t sa_restorer;
#endif
sigset_t sa_mask;
};

The problem is that sa_flags has been changed from an unsigned int to an
unsigned long.

Fix this by making sa_flags unsigned int if __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION is
defined.

Whilst we're at it, rename __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION to
__ARCH_HAS_IRIX_SIGACTION.
