Since commit 8cb48fe169 ("MIPS: Provide correct siginfo_t.si_stime"),
MIPS' uapi/asm/siginfo.h has included uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h
directly before defining MIPS' struct siginfo, in order to get the
necessary definitions needed for the siginfo struct without the generic
copy_siginfo() hitting compiler errors due to struct siginfo not yet
being defined.
Now that the generic copy_siginfo() is moved out to linux/signal.h we
can safely include asm-generic/siginfo.h before defining the MIPS
specific struct siginfo, which avoids the uapi/ include as well as
breakage due to generic copy_siginfo() being defined before struct
siginfo.

Stephen Rothwell reported this linux-next build failure:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160226164406.065a1ffc@canb.auug.org.au
... caused by the Memory Protection Keys patches from the tip tree triggering
a newly introduced build-time sanity check on an ARM build, because they changed
the ABI of siginfo in an unexpected way.
If u64 has a natural alignment of 8 bytes (which is the case on most mainstream
platforms, with the notable exception of x86-32), then the leadup to the
_sifields union matters:
typedef struct siginfo {
int si_signo;
int si_errno;
int si_code;
union {
...
} _sifields;
} __ARCH_SI_ATTRIBUTES siginfo_t;
Note how the first 3 fields give us 12 bytes, so _sifields is not 8
naturally bytes aligned.
Before the _pkey field addition the largest element of _sifields (on
32-bit platforms) was 32 bits. With the u64 added, the minimum alignment
requirement increased to 8 bytes on those (rare) 32-bit platforms. Thus
GCC padded the space after si_code with 4 extra bytes, and shifted all
_sifields offsets by 4 bytes - breaking the ABI of all of those
remaining fields.
On 64-bit platforms this problem was hidden due to _sifields already
having numerous fields with natural 8 bytes alignment (pointers).
To fix this, we replace the u64 with an '__u32'. The __u32 does not
increase the minimum alignment requirement of the union, and it is
also large enough to store the 16-bit pkey we have today on x86.

Provide correct siginfo_t.si_stime on MIPS64
Bug description:
MIPS version of copy_siginfo() is not aware of alignment on platforms with
64-bit long integers, which leads to an incorrect si_stime passed to signal
handlers, because the last element (si_stime) of _sifields._sigchld is not
copied. If _MIPS_SZLONG is 64, then the _sifields starts at the offset of
4 * sizeof(int).
Patch description:
Use the generic copy_siginfo, which doesn't have this problem.

It wasn't until GCC 4.3 I believe that the __SIZEOF_*__ predefined macros
were added. The change below switches <uapi/asm/siginfo.h> to the
_MIPS_SZLONG macro so that compilation with e.g. GCC 4.1.2 succeeds.
This is a user API header so I think this is even more important, for
older userland support. The change adds an unsuccessful default too, to
catch any compiler configuration oddities.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.
