signal: Deliver all of the siginfo perf data in _perf
Don't abuse si_errno and deliver all of the perf data in _perf member of siginfo_t. Note: The data field in the perf data structures in a u64 to allow a pointer to be encoded without needed to implement a 32bit and 64bit version of the same structure. There already exists a 32bit and 64bit versions siginfo_t, and the 32bit version can not include a 64bit member as it only has 32bit alignment. So unsigned long is used in siginfo_t instead of a u64 as unsigned long can encode a pointer on all architectures linux supports. v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/m11rarqqx2.fsf_-_@fess.ebiederm.org v2: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210503203814.25487-10-ebiederm@xmission.com v3: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210505141101.11519-11-ebiederm@xmission.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210517195748.8880-4-ebiederm@xmission.com Reviewed-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
