Christoph Hellwig c3b3f52476 signal: refactor copy_siginfo_to_user32
Factor out a copy_siginfo_to_external32 helper from
copy_siginfo_to_user32 that fills out the compat_siginfo, but does so
on a kernel space data structure.  With that we can let architectures
override copy_siginfo_to_user32 with their own implementations using
copy_siginfo_to_external32.  That allows moving the x32 SIGCHLD purely
to x86 architecture code.

As a nice side effect copy_siginfo_to_external32 also comes in handy
for avoiding a set_fs() call in the coredump code later on.

Contains improvements from Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
and Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>.

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.

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.
