arm64: compat: fix vfp save/restore across signal handlers in big-endian When saving/restoring the VFP registers from a compat (AArch32) signal frame, we rely on the compat registers forming a prefix of the native register file and therefore make use of copy_{to,from}_user to transfer between the native fpsimd_state and the compat_vfp_sigframe. Unfortunately, this doesn't work so well in a big-endian environment. Our fpsimd save/restore code operates directly on 128-bit quantities (Q registers) whereas the compat_vfp_sigframe represents the registers as an array of 64-bit (D) registers. The architecture packs the compat D registers into the Q registers, with the least significant bytes holding the lower register. Consequently, we need to swap the 64-bit halves when converting between these two representations on a big-endian machine. This patch replaces the __copy_{to,from}_user invocations in our compat VFP signal handling code with explicit __put_user loops that operate on 64-bit values and swap them accordingly.
