Sam, the first thing I notice is that _NSIG_BPW changed.

It's supposed to be 32 for sparc32 and 64 for sparc64.
But now it's unconditionally 64 in the unified header.
This also makes _NSIG_WORDS et al. wrong.

Robert, does this fix the bug for you?

sparc: Fix asm/signal.h for 32-bit.

Fix a 32-bit sparc regression reported by Robert Reif.

_NSIG_BPW needs to be 32 for 32-bit and 64 for 64-bit

I cannot explain why this happened - it is obviously buggy.

    Sorry!

I will re-review the commit later today after I get some coffee.

Thanks for testing & bisect Robert!

The real fix should look like this:

#ifdef __arch64__
#define _NSIG_BPW       64
#else
#define _NSIG_BPW       64
#endif

This is required because this header is exported to userspace
where we do not have access to CONFIG_* symbols.

I assume you meant to use "32" in the #else branch :-)

Freudian attempt or similar...

I now did a re-review of the unified signal.h.
And I could not spot any other subtle differences.

This fixed it (with the 32).
