They didn't build test the original version of the signal patches I
put into the sparc tree either, which is why I fixed them up and put
them into the sparc GIT tree.

Ptrace folks can we not operate like this?  The only reason I found
out about the set_current_blocked() transformations was by accident,
because the original patch was posted to linux-kernel only so it never
got queued up into sparc patchwork.

Then once Oleg mentioned it to me, it didn't even compile so I fixed
it up and put the fixed up copy into my tree.  It also didn't
transform the TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK cases in the sparc signal code, so I
also added a patch to the sparc tree which took care of that.

Now you guys are creating conflicts against those fixed up patches in
another non-sparc tree, and adding new kinds of build failures as
well.

This doesn't work.
