    Subject[ 111/187] x86, compat: Use test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) in compat signal delivery
    Date
    From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

    3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>

    commit 0b91f45b23cb73ce11acdc3cf4c6efd4441e3b3e upstream.

    Signal delivery compat path may not have the 'TS_COMPAT' flag (that
    flag indicates how we entered the kernel). So use
    test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) instead of is_ia32_task(): one of the
    functions of TIF_IA32 is just what kind of signal frame we want.
