Since commit afcc90f8621e ("usercopy: WARN() on slab cache usercopy
region violations"), MIPS systems booting with a compat root filesystem
emit a warning when copying compat siginfo to userspace:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 953 at mm/usercopy.c:81 usercopy_warn+0x98/0xe8
Bad or missing usercopy whitelist? Kernel memory exposure attempt
detected from SLAB object 'task_struct' (offset 1432, size 16)!

Commit 5905429ad856 ("fork: Provide usercopy whitelisting for
task_struct") noted that:

"While the blocked and saved_sigmask fields of task_struct are copied to
userspace (via sigmask_to_save() and setup_rt_frame()), it is always
copied with a static length (i.e. sizeof(sigset_t))."

However, this is not true in the case of compat signals, whose sigset
is copied by put_compat_sigset and receives size as an argument.

At most call sites, put_compat_sigset is copying a sigset from the
current task_struct. This triggers a warning when
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is active. However, by marking this function as
static inline, the warning can be avoided because in all of these cases
the size is constant at compile time, which is allowed. The only site
where this is not the case is handling the rt_sigpending syscall, but
there the copy is being made from a stack local variable so does not
trigger the warning.

Move put_compat_sigset to compat.h, and mark it static inline. This
fixes the WARN on MIPS.

There are 4 callers of sigset_to_compat() in the entire kernel.  One is
in sparc compat rt_sigaction(2), the rest are in kernel/signal.c itself.
All are followed by copy_to_user(), and all but the sparc one are under
"if it's big-endian..." ifdefs.

Let's transform sigset_to_compat() into put_compat_sigset() that also
calls copy_to_user().

Pull misc compat stuff updates from Al Viro:
 "This part is basically untangling various compat stuff. Compat
  syscalls moved to their native counterparts, getting rid of quite a
  bit of double-copying and/or set_fs() uses. A lot of field-by-field
  copyin/copyout killed off.

   - kernel/compat.c is much closer to containing just the
     copyin/copyout of compat structs. Not all compat syscalls are gone
     from it yet, but it's getting there.

   - ipc/compat_mq.c killed off completely.

   - block/compat_ioctl.c cleaned up; floppy compat ioctls moved to
     drivers/block/floppy.c where they belong. Yes, there are several
     drivers that implement some of the same ioctls. Some are m68k and
     one is 32bit-only pmac. drivers/block/floppy.c is the only one in
     that bunch that can be built on biarch"

* 'misc.compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  mqueue: move compat syscalls to native ones
  usbdevfs: get rid of field-by-field copyin
  compat_hdio_ioctl: get rid of set_fs()
  take floppy compat ioctls to sodding floppy.c
  ipmi: get rid of field-by-field __get_user()
  ipmi: get COMPAT_IPMICTL_RECEIVE_MSG in sync with the native one
  rt_sigtimedwait(): move compat to native
  select: switch compat_{get,put}_fd_set() to compat_{get,put}_bitmap()
  put_compat_rusage(): switch to copy_to_user()
  sigpending(): move compat to native
  getrlimit()/setrlimit(): move compat to native
  times(2): move compat to native
  compat_{get,put}_bitmap(): use unsafe_{get,put}_user()
  fb_get_fscreeninfo(): don't bother with do_fb_ioctl()
  do_sigaltstack(): lift copying to/from userland into callers
  take compat_sys_old_getrlimit() to native syscall
  trim __ARCH_WANT_SYS_OLD_GETRLIMIT

Pull misc compat stuff updates from Al Viro:
 "This part is basically untangling various compat stuff. Compat
  syscalls moved to their native counterparts, getting rid of quite a
  bit of double-copying and/or set_fs() uses. A lot of field-by-field
  copyin/copyout killed off.

   - kernel/compat.c is much closer to containing just the
     copyin/copyout of compat structs. Not all compat syscalls are gone
     from it yet, but it's getting there.

   - ipc/compat_mq.c killed off completely.

   - block/compat_ioctl.c cleaned up; floppy compat ioctls moved to
     drivers/block/floppy.c where they belong. Yes, there are several
     drivers that implement some of the same ioctls. Some are m68k and
     one is 32bit-only pmac. drivers/block/floppy.c is the only one in
     that bunch that can be built on biarch"

* 'misc.compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  mqueue: move compat syscalls to native ones
  usbdevfs: get rid of field-by-field copyin
  compat_hdio_ioctl: get rid of set_fs()
  take floppy compat ioctls to sodding floppy.c
  ipmi: get rid of field-by-field __get_user()
  ipmi: get COMPAT_IPMICTL_RECEIVE_MSG in sync with the native one
  rt_sigtimedwait(): move compat to native
  select: switch compat_{get,put}_fd_set() to compat_{get,put}_bitmap()
  put_compat_rusage(): switch to copy_to_user()
  sigpending(): move compat to native
  getrlimit()/setrlimit(): move compat to native
  times(2): move compat to native
  compat_{get,put}_bitmap(): use unsafe_{get,put}_user()
  fb_get_fscreeninfo(): don't bother with do_fb_ioctl()
  do_sigaltstack(): lift copying to/from userland into callers
  take compat_sys_old_getrlimit() to native syscall
  trim __ARCH_WANT_SYS_OLD_GETRLIMIT

 "Continuation of timers-related stuff (there had been more, but my
  parts of that series are already merged via timers/core). This is more

  unification of native and compat timers-related syscalls"

Pull wait syscall updates from Al Viro:
 "Consolidating sys_wait* and compat counterparts.

  Gets rid of set_fs()/double-copy mess, simplifies the whole thing
  (lifting the copyouts to the syscalls means less headache in the part
  that does actual work - fewer failure exits, to start with), gets rid
  of the overhead of field-by-field __put_user()"

  wait_task_zombie: consolidate info logics
  kill wait_noreap_copyout()
  lift getrusage() from wait_noreap_copyout()
  waitid(2): leave copyout of siginfo to syscall itself
  kernel_wait4()/kernel_waitid(): delay copying status to userland
