Pull siginfo fix from Eric Biederman:
 "During the merge window an issue with si_perf and the siginfo ABI came
  up. The alpha and sparc siginfo structure layout had changed with the
  addition of SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF and the new field si_perf.

  The reason only alpha and sparc were affected is that they are the
  only architectures that use si_trapno.

  Looking deeper it was discovered that si_trapno is used for only a few
  select signals on alpha and sparc, and that none of the other
  _sigfault fields past si_addr are used at all. Which means technically
  no regression on alpha and sparc.

  While the alignment concerns might be dismissed the abuse of si_errno
  by SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF does have the potential to cause regressions in
  existing userspace.

  While we still have time before userspace starts using and depending
  on the new definition siginfo for SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF this set of
  changes cleans up siginfo_t.

   - The si_trapno field is demoted from magic alpha and sparc status
     and made an ordinary union member of the _sigfault member of
     siginfo_t. Without moving it of course.

   - si_perf is replaced with si_perf_data and si_perf_type ending the
     abuse of si_errno.

   - Unnecessary additions to signalfd_siginfo are removed"

* 'for-v5.13-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  signalfd: Remove SIL_PERF_EVENT fields from signalfd_siginfo
  signal: Deliver all of the siginfo perf data in _perf
  signal: Factor force_sig_perf out of perf_sigtrap
  signal: Implement SIL_FAULT_TRAPNO
  siginfo: Move si_trapno inside the union inside _si_fault
