The siginfo_t struct includes a union. The correct way to identify
which fields of the union are relevant is complicated, because we
have to use a combination of the si_code and si_signo to figure out
which of the union's members are valid. (Within the host kernel it
is always possible to tell, but the kernel carefully avoids giving
userspace the high 16 bits of si_code, so we don't have the
information to do this the easy way...) We therefore make our best
guess, bearing in mind that a guest can spoof most of the si_codes
via rt_sigqueueinfo() if it likes. Once we have made our guess, we
record it in the top 16 bits of the si_code, so that tswap_siginfo()
later can use it. tswap_siginfo() then strips these top bits out
before writing si_code to the guest (sign-extending the lower bits).
This fixes a bug where fields were sometimes wrong; in particular
the LTP kill10 test went into an infinite loop because its signal
handler got a si_pid value of 0 rather than the pid of the sending
process.
As part of this change, we switch to using __put_user() in the
tswap_siginfo code which writes out the byteswapped values to
the target memory, in case the target memory pointer is not
sufficiently aligned for the host CPU's requirements.
