I guess it's coming from the compiler directly. Anyway, on big endian tile, I we have the same issue as on big endian arm64. > parisc, sparc, mips: arch/xxx/kernel/signal32.c paris, sparc and mips all use si_int instead of si_ptr, so that's fine. > powerpc: arch/xxx/kernel/signal_32.c Same for powerpc, it uses si_int instead of si_ptr. > cc these maintainers for input. I think it's only tile that needs fixing for big endian, something like the arm64 patch below: > >>> diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/signal32.c b/arch/arm64/kernel/signal32.c > >>> index e299de396e9b..32601939a3c8 100644 > >>> --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/signal32.c > >>> +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/signal32.c > >>> @@ -154,8 +154,7 @@ int copy_siginfo_to_user32(compat_siginfo_t __user *to, const siginfo_t *from) > >>> case __SI_TIMER: > >>> err |= __put_user(from->si_tid, &to->si_tid); > >>> err |= __put_user(from->si_overrun, &to->si_overrun); > >>> - err |= __put_user((compat_uptr_t)(unsigned long)from->si_ptr, > >>> - &to->si_ptr); > >>> + err |= __put_user(from->si_int, &to->si_int); > >>> break; > >>> case __SI_POLL: > >>> err |= __put_user(from->si_band, &to->si_band); > >>> @@ -184,7 +183,7 @@ int copy_siginfo_to_user32(compat_siginfo_t __user *to, const siginfo_t *from) > >>> case __SI_MESGQ: /* But this is */ > >>> err |= __put_user(from->si_pid, &to->si_pid); > >>> err |= __put_user(from->si_uid, &to->si_uid); > >>> - err |= __put_user((compat_uptr_t)(unsigned long)from->si_ptr, &to->si_ptr); > >>> + err |= __put_user(from->si_int, &to->si_int); > >>> break; > >>> case __SI_SYS: > >>> err |= __put_user((compat_uptr_t)(unsigned long) -- Catalin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
