I can't really comment this patch, but...

I can't understand the layout. struct siginfo is union, for example
si_overrun only makes sense if si_code = SI_TIMER.
Not sure this is right. I think fill_siginfo_note() should either do
memcpy() and let userspace to decode this (raw) info, or this layout
should be unified with copy_siginfo_to_user().
Note also that we do not expose the upper bits of si_code to user-space,
probably coredump should do the same, I dunno.
Oleg.
