Subject: [PATCH v1 8/8] powerpc/signal: Use unsafe_copy_siginfo_to_user()
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 11:56:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4a8b361c988655ab008ee2b205bfb0b246e16cc2.1779441786.git.chleroy@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1779441786.git.chleroy@kernel.org>
Use unsafe_copy_siginfo_to_user() in order to do the copy
within the user access block.
On an mpc 8321 (book3s/32) the improvment is about 5% on a process
sending a signal to itself.
