From: Christophe Leroy
The conversion from __copy_from_user() to __get_user() introduced a
regression in __get_user_sigset() in v5.13. The bug was subsequently
copied and pasted in unsafe_get_user_sigset().
The regression was reported by users of the Xorg packages distributed in
Debian/powerpc --
"The symptoms are that the fb screen goes blank, with the backlight
remaining on and no errors logged in /var/log; wdm (or startx) run
with no effect (I tried logging in in the blind, with no effect).
And they are hard to kill, requiring 'kill -KILL ...'"
Fix the regression by casting the __get_user() assignment lvalue to u64
so that the entire struct gets copied.

Hi Finn,
Christophe, I hope this change is the one you wanted to see upstream (?).
If it is acceptable please add your signed-off-by tag.
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
