Merge branch 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"
* 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (27 commits)
signal/x86: Move tsk inside of CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE in do_sigbus
signal: Remove the signal number and task parameters from force_sig_info
signal: Factor force_sig_info_to_task out of force_sig_info
signal: Generate the siginfo in force_sig
signal: Move the computation of force into send_signal and correct it.
signal: Properly set TRACE_SIGNAL_LOSE_INFO in __send_signal
signal: Remove the task parameter from force_sig_fault
signal: Use force_sig_fault_to_task for the two calls that don't deliver to current
signal: Explicitly call force_sig_fault on current
signal/unicore32: Remove tsk parameter from __do_user_fault
signal/arm: Remove tsk parameter from __do_user_fault
signal/arm: Remove tsk parameter from ptrace_break
