Fine by me:

Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>
Tested-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

The conflict will appear in -next but the resolution is simple:

diff --cc arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c
index 21689c6a985f,856b32aa03d8..adb0a32c1568
--- a/arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c

@@@ -353,12 -366,6 +368,9 @@@ void force_signal_inject(int signal, in
const char *desc;
struct pt_regs *regs = current_pt_regs();

+ if (WARN_ON(!user_mode(regs)))
+ return;
+
- clear_siginfo(&info);
-
switch (signal) {
case SIGILL:
desc = "undefined instruction";
