[PATCH v2] signals, pkeys: make si_pkey 32 bits

From: Stephen Rothwell
Date: Sat Feb 27 2016 - 18:40:28 EST


In order to prevent a change of alignment of the _sifields union in the
siginfo structure on (some) 32 bit platforms and an ABI breakage, we
change the type of _pkey to unsigned int. If more bits are needed in
the future, a second unsigned int could be added.

Fixes: cd0ea35ff551 ("signals, pkeys: Notify userspace about protection key faults")
