This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled
MIPS: Fix siginfo.h to use strict posix types
to the linux-4.2.y-queue branch of the 4.2.y-ckt extended stable tree
which can be found at:
https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/linux/+git/linux-stable-ckt/log/?h=linux-4.2.y-queue
This patch is scheduled to be released in version 4.2.8-ckt12.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please
reply to this email.

Subject: MIPS: Fix siginfo.h to use strict posix types
commit 5daebc477da4dfeb31ae193d83084def58fd2697 upstream.
Commit 85efde6f4e0d ("make exported headers use strict posix types")
changed the asm-generic siginfo.h to use the __kernel_* types, and
commit 3a471cbc081b ("remove __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES") make the internal
types accessible only to the kernel, but the MIPS implementation hasn't
been updated to match.
Switch to proper types now so that the exported asm/siginfo.h won't
produce quite so many compiler errors when included alone by a user
program.
