Add a struct_group() for the spe registers so that memset() can correctly reason
about the size:

However, is it really worth adding that grouping ? Wouldn't it be
cleaner to handle evr[] and acc separately ? Now that we are using
unsafe variants of get/put user performance wouldn't be impacted.

I'm fine with whatever is desired here. I reworked an earlier version of
this patch based on mpe's feedback, so I can certain rework it again. :)

Well, with oddities like the below, it may not be straight forward. If the objective is to enable FORTIFY_SOURCE, maybe that's good enough.

Let see if Michael has any opinion.




I have some doubts about things like:

        unsafe_copy_to_user(&frame->mc_vregs, current->thread.evr,
                                    ELF_NEVRREG * sizeof(u32), failed);

Because as far as I can see, ELF_NEVRREG is 34 but mc_vregs is a table
of 33 u32 and is at the end of the structure:

        struct mcontext {
                elf_gregset_t   mc_gregs;
                elf_fpregset_t  mc_fregs;
                unsigned long   mc_pad[2];
                elf_vrregset_t  mc_vregs __attribute__((__aligned__(16)));
        };

        typedef elf_vrreg_t elf_vrregset_t[ELF_NVRREG];

        # define ELF_NEVRREG    34      /* includes acc (as 2) */
        # define ELF_NVRREG     33      /* includes vscr */

I don't know these internals very well -- do you want me to change this
specifically somehow? With the BUILD_BUG_ON()s added, there's no binary
change here -- I wanted to make sure nothing was different in the
output.


Neither do I. I was just scared by what I saw while reviewing your patch. A cleanup is probably required but it can be another patch.
