Eric W. Biederman a36700589b signal: Guard against negative signal numbers in copy_siginfo_from_user32
While fixing an out of bounds array access in known_siginfo_layout
reported by the kernel test robot it became apparent that the same bug
exists in siginfo_layout and affects copy_siginfo_from_user32.

The straight forward fix that makes guards against making this mistake
in the future and should keep the code size small is to just take an
unsigned signal number instead of a signed signal number, as I did to
fix known_siginfo_layout.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
