Hi,

When building UML against 3.7-rc2 I encounter the following build error:

# make ARCH=uml
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig arch/x86/um/Kconfig
  CHK     include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h

I have tracked this down to [1] where, indeed, the type of sig_info is
different; the second parameter in signal.c is 'siginfo_t' where as in
as-layout.h the second parameter's type is declared as 'struct siginfo'.
