From fae764912153065ea55eda47f834e0764a54df94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Schwidefsky Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2018 13:48:25 +0200 Subject: s390/signal: cleanup uapi struct sigaction The struct sigaction for user space in arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/signal.h is ill defined. The kernel uses two structures 'struct sigaction' and 'struct old_sigaction', the correlation in the kernel for both 31 and 64 bit is as follows sys_sigaction -> struct old_sigaction sys_rt_sigaction -> struct sigaction The correlation of the (single) uapi definition for 'struct sigaction' under '#ifndef __KERNEL__': 31-bit: sys_sigaction -> uapi struct sigaction 31-bit: sys_rt_sigaction -> no structure available 64-bit: sys_sigaction -> no structure available 64-bit: sys_rt_sigaction -> uapi struct sigaction This is quite confusing. To make it a bit less confusing make the uapi definition of 'struct sigaction' usable for sys_rt_sigaction for both 31-bit and 64-bit.
