signal: Add set_user_sigmask()
Refactor reading sigset from userspace and updating sigmask into an api. This is useful for versions of syscalls that pass in the sigmask and expect the current->sigmask to be changed during, and restored after, the execution of the syscall. With the advent of new y2038 syscalls in the subsequent patches, we add two more new versions of the syscalls (for pselect, ppoll, and io_pgetevents) in addition to the existing native and compat versions. Adding such an api reduces the logic that would need to be replicated otherwise. Note that the calls to sigprocmask() ignored the return value from the api as the function only returns an error on an invalid first argument that is hardcoded at these call sites. The updated logic uses set_current_blocked() instead. Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani <deepa.kernel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
