Emese Revfy 998f85133f kernel/signal.c: stop info leak via the tkill and the tgkill syscalls
commit b9e146d8eb upstream.

This fixes a kernel memory contents leak via the tkill and tgkill syscalls
for compat processes.

This is visible in the siginfo_t->_sifields._rt.si_sigval.sival_ptr field
when handling signals delivered from tkill.

The place of the infoleak:

int copy_siginfo_to_user32(compat_siginfo_t __user *to, siginfo_t *from)
{
        ...
        put_user_ex(ptr_to_compat(from->si_ptr), &to->si_ptr);
        ...
}
