Subject: [PATCH v1 6/8] signal: Add unsafe_copy_siginfo_to_user()
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 11:56:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <07697a42c8ac6ea6ac600cbf0dabbdcbf814da31.1779441786.git.chleroy@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1779441786.git.chleroy@kernel.org>

In the same spirit as commit fb05121fd6a2 ("signal: Add
unsafe_get_compat_sigset()"), implement an 'unsafe' version of
copy_siginfo_to_user() in order to use it within user access blocks.

For that, also add an 'unsafe' version of clear_user().

This commit adds the generic fallback for unsafe_clear_user().
Architectures wanting to use unsafe_copy_siginfo_to_user() within a
user_access_begin() section have to make sure they have their
own unsafe_clear_user().
