The code in binfmt_elf.c is differnt from the rest of the code that processes siginfo, as it sends siginfo from a kernel buffer to a file rather than from kernel memory to userspace buffers. To remove it's use of set_fs the code needs some different siginfo helpers. Add the helper copy_siginfo_to_external to copy from the kernel's internal siginfo layout to a buffer in the siginfo layout that userspace expects. Modify fill_siginfo_note to use copy_siginfo_to_external instead of set_fs and copy_siginfo_to_user. Update compat_binfmt_elf.c to use the previously added copy_siginfo_to_external32 to handle the compat case. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
