It looks like a typo resulting in accidental ABI breakage.

For SIGIO/SIGPOLL the si_codes were not supposed to change.

The si_codes were only supposed to change for SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGTRAP, SIGCHLD, SIGSYS, SIGEMT where POLL_IN and friends overlap with the signal specific si_codes of those signals.

An email bug report would be appreciated.

A bug report e-mail was sent to you, lkml, and the perf developers last week (Wednesday September 13th) but got no response. I can resend if necessary.

You also made a significant typo (SIGMET for SIGEMT) in kernel/signal.c.
