    signal: Reduce copy_siginfo to just a memcpy · 8c36fdf5
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    The savings for copying just part of struct siginfo appears to be in the
    noise on modern machines.  So remove this ``optimization'' and simplify the code.
    
    At the same time mark the second parameter as constant so there is no confusion
    as to which direction the copy will go.
    
    This ensures that a fully initialized siginfo that is sent ends up as
    a fully initialized siginfo on the signal queue.  This full initialization
    ensures even confused code won't copy unitialized data to userspace, and
    it prepares for turning copy_siginfo_to_user into a simple copy_to_user.
