From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The original hwpoison code added a new siginfo field si_addr_lsb to pass the granuality of the fault address to user space. Unfortunately this field was never copied to user space. Fix this here. I added explicit checks for the MCEERR codes to avoid having to patch all potential callers to initialize the field.
