[PATCH libaio] Fix io_pgetevents() syscall wrapper on 32-bit userland on 64-bit kernels
The kernel compat syscall in the kernel got introduced with a broken
layout, which requires a pointer to the actual sigset_t variable but
with the size of the running kernel, not the size of the compat code.
This means that when the wrapper sends the expected compat (32-bit)
pointer, the kernel reads a 64-bit pointer, eating with it also the
sigset size member. And then proceeds to fail the comparison of the
sigset_t size and returns EINVAL.
This really needs to be fixed in the kernel, as there's no apparent
user of the broken compat layout (from codesearch.debian.org, nor a
quick github.com search). But we have to workaround it in libaio so
that we can use kernels that have not yet been fixed.
We do that, by trying the non-broken layout (that would be used with
a 32-bit userland on a 32-bit kernel), and if that fails with -EINVAL
we retry with a structure padded to what the kernel expects.
