The usb support for asyncio encoded one of it's values in the wrong
field. It should have used si_value but instead used si_addr which is
not present in the _rt union member of struct siginfo.
The practical result of this is that on a 64bit big endian kernel
when delivering a signal to a 32bit process the si_addr field
is set to NULL, instead of the expected pointer value.
This issue can not be fixed in copy_siginfo_to_user32 as the usb
usage of the the _sigfault (aka si_addr) member of the siginfo
union when SI_ASYNCIO is set is incompatible with the POSIX and
glibc usage of the _rt member of the siginfo union.
Therefore replace kill_pid_info_as_cred with kill_pid_usb_asyncio a
dedicated function for this one specific case. There are no other
users of kill_pid_info_as_cred so this specialization should have no
impact on the amount of code in the kernel. Have kill_pid_usb_asyncio
take instead of a siginfo_t which is difficult and error prone, 3
arguments, a signal number, an errno value, and an address enconded as
a sigval_t. The encoding of the address as a sigval_t allows the
code that reads the userspace request for a signal to handle this
compat issue along with all of the other compat issues.
Add BUILD_BUG_ONs in kernel/signal.c to ensure that we can now place
the pointer value at the in si_pid (instead of si_addr). That is the
code now verifies that si_pid and si_addr always occur at the same
location. Further the code veries that for native structures a value
placed in si_pid and spilling into si_uid will appear in userspace in
si_addr (on a byte by byte copy of siginfo or a field by field copy of
siginfo). The code also verifies that for a 64bit kernel and a 32bit
userspace the 32bit pointer will fit in si_pid.
I have used the usbsig.c program below written by Alan Stern and
slightly tweaked by me to run on a big endian machine to verify the
issue exists (on sparc64) and to confirm the patch below fixes the issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
