This patch relies on sigset_{to,from}_compat() which was proposed to
remove from the kernel recently. The change is in linux-next, and it
breaks the build of the kenel with this patch. Below the updated
version.
I'd like to ask here again, do we need this change? The patch is
correct, but it changes the ptrace API for compat big-endian
architectures. It normally should stop us from pulling it, but there's
seemingly no users of the API in the wild, and so it will
break nothing.
The problem was originally reported by Zhou Chengming for BE arm64/ilp32.
I would like to see arm64/ilp32 working correct in this case, and
developers of other new architectures probably would so.
Regarding arm64/ilp32, we have agreed ABI, and 4.12 and 4.13 kernels
have this change:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git/log/?h=staging/ilp32-4.12
https://github.com/norov/linux/tree/ilp32-4.13
So I see 3 ways to proceed with this:
1. Drop the patch and remove it from arm64/ilp32;
2. Apply the patch as is;
3. Introduce new config option like ARCH_PTRACE_COMPAT_BE_SWAP_SIGMASK,
make it enabled by default and disable explicitly for existing
compat BE architectures.
I would choose 2 or 3 depending on what maintainers of existing
architectures think.
