[PATCH 2/2] signal: Remove the set_fs in binfmt_elf.c:fill_siginfo_note

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Fri Apr 17 2020 - 17:13:01 EST



The code in binfmt_elf.c is differnt from the rest of the code that
processes siginfo, as it sends siginfo from a kernel buffer to a file
rather than from kernel memory to userspace buffers. To remove it's
use of set_fs the code needs some different siginfo helpers.

Add the helper copy_siginfo_to_external to copy from the kernel's
internal siginfo layout to a buffer in the siginfo layout that
userspace expects.

Modify fill_siginfo_note to use copy_siginfo_to_external instead of
set_fs and copy_siginfo_to_user.

Update compat_binfmt_elf.c to use the previously added
copy_siginfo_to_external32 to handle the compat case.
