Usually sigset_t is exactly 8B which is a "trivial" size and does not warrant using __copy_from_user(). Use __get_user() directly in anticipation of future work to remove the trivial size optimizations from __copy_from_user(). Calling __get_user() also results in a small boost to signal handling throughput here.
Modulo the comments from Christophe, this looks good to me. It seems to do what it says on the tin. Reviewed-by: Daniel Axtens <redacted> Do you know if this patch is responsible for the slightly increase in radix performance you observed in your cover letter? The rest of the series shouldn't really make things faster than the no-KUAP case... Kind regards, Daniel
