signal: Use a smaller struct siginfo in the kernel We reserve 128 bytes for struct siginfo but only use about 48 bytes on 64bit and 32 bytes on 32bit. Someday we might use more but it is unlikely to be anytime soon. Userspace seems content with just enough bytes of siginfo to implement sigqueue. Or in the case of checkpoint/restart reinjecting signals the kernel has sent. Reducing the stack footprint and the work to copy siginfo around from 2 cachelines to 1 cachelines seems worth doing even if I don't have benchmarks to show a performance difference.
