Hi Finn,

I'm on holidays, I was planing to handle this next week.
Only PPC64 uses __get_user_sigset() on mainline so I don't think it is worth modifying it. If we decide to modify it anyway in mainline, it should be another patch that can be backported without additional effort.
For unsafe_get_user_sigset(), as we don't have the KUAP overhead that we had with __get_user(), I'd prefer we simply perform two 32 bits unsafe_get_user(), one for sig[0] and one for sig[1], instead of all those casts to u64.
Thanks anyway for the detailed description of the problem. Christophe
