<title>signal: Unify and correct copy_siginfo_to_user32</title>

<content type='text'>
Among the existing architecture specific versions of
copy_siginfo_to_user32 there are several different implementation
problems.  Some architectures fail to handle all of the cases in in
the siginfo union.  Some architectures perform a blind copy of the
siginfo union when the si_code is negative.  A blind copy suggests the
data is expected to be in 32bit siginfo format, which means that
receiving such a signal via signalfd won't work, or that the data is
in 64bit siginfo and the code is copying nonsense to userspace.

Create a single instance of copy_siginfo_to_user32 that all of the
architectures can share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in
the siginfo union correctly, with the assumption that siginfo is
stored internally to the kernel is 64bit siginfo format.

A special case is made for x86 x32 format.  This is needed as presence
of both x32 and ia32 on x86_64 results in two different 32bit signal
formats.  By allowing this small special case there winds up being
exactly one code base that needs to be maintained between all of the
architectures.  Vastly increasing the testing base and the chances of
finding bugs.

As the x86 copy of copy_siginfo_to_user32 the call of the x86
signal_compat_build_tests were moved into sigaction_compat_abi, so
that they will keep running.

<content type='text'>
The function copy_siginfo_from_user32 is used for two things, in ptrace
since the dawn of siginfo for arbirarily modifying a signal that
user space sees, and in sigqueueinfo to send a signal with arbirary
siginfo data.

Create a single copy of copy_siginfo_from_user32 that all architectures
share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in the siginfo union.

In the generic version of copy_siginfo_from_user32 ensure that all
of the fields in siginfo are initialized so that the siginfo structure
can be safely copied to userspace if necessary.

When copying the embedded sigval union copy the si_int member.  That
ensures the 32bit values passes through the kernel unchanged.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable mdesc_handle.refcnt is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.
