Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman: "The work on cleaning up and getting the bugs out of siginfo generation was largely stalled this round. The progress that was made was the definition of FPE_FLTUNK. Which is usable to fix many of the cases where siginfo generation is erroneously generating SI_USER by setting si_code to 0, that has recently been tagged as FPE_FIXME. You already have the change by way of the arm64 tree as that definition was pulled into the arm64 tree to allow fixing the problem there. What remains is the second round of fixing for what I thought was a trivial change to the struct siginfo when put the union in _sigfault where it belongs. Do to historical reasons 32bit m68k only ensures that pointers are 2 byte aligned. So I have added a m68k test case made of BUILD_BUG_ONs to verify I have this fix correct and possibly catch problems, and I have computed the number of bytes of padding needed for the _addr_bnd and _addr_pkey cases and just use an array of characters that size. For pure paranoia I have written the code so if there is an architecture out there that does not perform any alignment of structures it should still work. With the removal of all of the stale arechitectures this cycle future work on cleaning up struct siginfo should be much easier. Almost all of the conflicting si_code definitions have been removed with the removal of (blackfin, tile, and frv). Plus some of the most difficult to test cases have simply been removed from the tree. Which means that with a little luck copy_siginfo_to_user can become a light weight wrapper around copy_to_user in the next cycle" * 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: m68k: Verify the offsets in struct siginfo never change. signal: Correct the offset of si_pkey and si_lower in struct siginfo on m68k |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
