There is only one code path that can generate a pkuerr signal. That code path calls __bad_area_nosemaphore and can be dectected by testing if si_code == SEGV_PKUERR. It can be seen from inspection that all of the other tests in fill_sig_info_pkey are unnecessary. Therefore call force_sig_pkuerr directly from __bad_area_semaphore and remove fill_sig_info_pkey. At the same time move the comment above force_sig_info_pkey into bad_area_access_error, so that the documentation of about pkey generation races is not lost. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
