In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across neighboring fields.
Add a struct_group() for the spe registers so that memset() can correctly reason about the size:

unsafe_copy_from_user(¤t->thread.spe, &sr->mc_vregs,sizeof(current->thread.spe), failed);This makes me nervous, because the ABI is that we copy ELF_NEVRREG * sizeof(u32) bytes, not whatever sizeof(current->thread.spe) happens to be.
ie. if we use sizeof an inadvertent change to the fields in thread_struct could change how many bytes we copy out to userspace, which would be an ABI break.
And that's not that hard to do, because it's not at all obvious that the size and layout of fields in thread_struct affects the user ABI.
At the same time we don't want to copy the right number of bytes but the wrong content, so from that point of view using sizeof is good :)
The way we handle it in ptrace is to have BUILD_BUG_ON()s to verify that things match up, so maybe we should do that here too.
ie. add:
BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(current->thread.spe) == ELF_NEVRREG * sizeof(u32));
Not sure if you are happy doing that as part of this patch. I can always do it later if not.
Sounds good to me; I did that in a few other cases in the series where the relationships between things seemed tenuous. :) I'll add this (as !=) in v3.
Thanks.
cheers
