I just bisected a crash with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y and
CONFIG_RSEQ=y on 32-bit ARM to this change as commit 317c8194e6ae
("rseq: Introduce feature size and alignment ELF auxiliary vector
entries") in the sched/core branch of the -tip tree:

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- defconfig

$ scripts/config -e HARDENED_USERCOPY -e RSEQ

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- olddefconfig zImage

$ qemu-system-arm \
-machine virt \
-kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage \
-append "console=ttyAMA0 earlycon" \
-display none \
-initrd rootfs.cpio \
-m 512m \
-nodefaults \
-no-reboot \
-serial mon:stdio

If there is any more information I can provide, I am more than happy to
do so. The rootfs is available at [1]; that repo also has a script that
can help drive QEMU if you would like.

Cheers,
Nathan
