The conversion from __copy_from_user() to __get_user() by commit d3ccc97 ("powerpc/signal: Use __get_user() to copy sigset_t") introduced a regression in __get_user_sigset() for powerpc/32. The bug was subsequently moved into unsafe_get_user_sigset(). The bug is due to the copied 64 bit value being truncated to 32 bits while being assigned to dst->sig[0] The regression was reported by users of the Xorg packages distributed in Debian/powerpc -- "The symptoms are that the fb screen goes blank, with the backlight remaining on and no errors logged in /var/log; wdm (or startx) run with no effect (I tried logging in in the blind, with no effect). And they are hard to kill, requiring 'kill -KILL ...'" Fix the regression by copying each word of the sigset, not only the first one. __get_user_sigset() was tentatively optimised to copy 64 bits at once in order to minimise KUAP unlock/lock impact, but the unsafe variant doesn't suffer that, so it can just copy words.
