Actually I was wrong here. The kernel _does_ interpret the sival_ptr to
read a cookie in sys_mq_notify() for PF_NETLINK sockets. So this code is
correct.

The user access size in your patch is the size of sival_ptr which is
32-bit for compat, same as sival_int; so far, so good. However, when you
store it to the native sival_ptr, you perform a conversion to long long
(shouldn't it be unsigned long long, or just unsigned long?).
The native sigval_t is also a union but on 64-bit big endian, the
sival_int overlaps with the most significant 32-bit of the sival_ptr.
So reading sival_int would always be 0. When the compat siginfo is
copied to user, arm64 reads the native sival_ptr (si_ptr) and converts
it to the compat one, getting the correct 32-bit value. However, other
architectures access sival_int (si_int) instead which breaks with your
get_compat_sigevent() changes.

Without any parts of your patch?
I think that's correct fix since in the SIGEV_THREAD mq_notify case, we
would not deliver a signal as notification, so the sival_int value is
irrelevant (it would be 0 for big-endian compat tasks because of the
sigval_t union on 64-bit).
Your patch would work as well but you have to change all the other
architectures to use si_ptr when copying to a compat siginfo.
