The patch below does not apply to the 4.4-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit
id to <stable@vger.kernel.org>.

thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 9109/1: oabi-compat: add epoll_pwait handler

The epoll_wait() syscall has a special version for OABI compat
mode to convert the arguments to the EABI structure layout
of the kernel. However, the later epoll_pwait() syscall was
added in arch/arm in linux-2.6.32 without this conversion.

Use the same kind of handler for both.

Fixes: 369842658a36 ("ARM: 5677/1: ARM support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK/pselect6/ppoll/epoll_pwait")

I think we're good without the backport. While this fixes a real bug, the only
reason to actually need OABI support is to run old binaries, and those predate
this syscall.
