wouldn't this better be written as:

static int wait_copyout(struct wait_opts *wo, struct task_struct *p,
			pid_t pid, uid_t uid, int why, int status, int signal)
{
	struct siginfo __user *infop = wo->wo_info;

	if (wo->wo_rusage) {
		int retval = getrusage(p, RUSAGE_BOTH, wo->wo_rusage);
		if (retval)
			return retval;
	}

	if (!infop)
		return 0;

	if (put_user(signal, &infop->si_signo) ||
	    put_user(0, &infop->si_errno) ||
	    put_user((short)why, &infop->si_code) ||
	    put_user(pid, &infop->si_pid) ||
	    put_user(uid, &infop->si_uid) ||
	    put_user(status, &infop->si_status))
		return -EFAULT;
	return 0;
}
