signalfd: Remove SIL_PERF_EVENT fields from signalfd_siginfo
With the addition of ssi_perf_data and ssi_perf_type struct signalfd_siginfo is dangerously close to running out of space. All that remains is just enough space for two additional 64bit fields. A practice of adding all possible siginfo_t fields into struct singalfd_siginfo can not be supported as adding the missing fields ssi_lower, ssi_upper, and ssi_pkey would require two 64bit fields and one 32bit fields. In practice the fields ssi_perf_data and ssi_perf_type can never be used by signalfd as the signal that generates them always delivers them synchronously to the thread that triggers them. Therefore until someone actually needs the fields ssi_perf_data and ssi_perf_type in signalfd_siginfo remove them. This leaves a bit more room for future expansion. v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210503203814.25487-12-ebiederm@xmission.com v2: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210505141101.11519-12-ebiederm@xmission.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210517195748.8880-5-ebiederm@xmission.com Reviewed-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
