From 6fb3b322307eee9494701d86afc650917621c551 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joerg Roedel Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2017 16:19:22 +0200 Subject: x86/mpx: Correctly report do_mpx_bt_fault() failures to user-space commit 5ed386ec09a5d75bcf073967e55e895c2607a5c3 upstream. When this function fails it just sends a SIGSEGV signal to user-space using force_sig(). This signal is missing essential information about the cause, e.g. the trap_nr or an error code. Fix this by propagating the error to the only caller of mpx_handle_bd_fault(), do_bounds(), which sends the correct SIGSEGV signal to the process.
