In preparation for using a smaller version of siginfo in the kernel introduce copy_siginfo_from_user and use it when siginfo is copied from userspace. Make the pattern for using copy_siginfo_from_user and copy_siginfo_from_user32 to capture the return value and return that value on error. This is a necessary prerequisite for using a smaller siginfo in the kernel than the kernel exports to userspace. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
