We process signals in the end of syscall/exception handler.
It the signal is fatal we print register's content using
show_regs function. show_regs() also prints information about
last exception happened.
In case of multicore system we can catch the situation when we
will print wrong information about exception. See the example:
______________________________
CPU-0: started to handle page fault
CPU-1: sent signal to process, which is executed on CPU-0
CPU-0: ended page fault handle. Started to process signal before
returnig to userspace. Process signal, which is send from
CPU-0. As th signal is fatal we call show_regs().
show_regs() will show information about last exception
which is *page fault* (instead of "trap" which is used for
signals and happened on CPU-0)
So we will get message like this:
/home/waitpid02
potentially unexpected fatal signal 8.

[-----other-info-----]
This message is confusing because it show information about page fault
( [ECR ]: 0x00050200 => Invalid Write ) which is absolutely irrelevant
to signal.
This situation was reproduced with waitpid02 LTP test.
_____________________________
So remove printing information about exceptions from show_regs()
to avoid confusing messages. Print information about exceptions
only in required places instead of show_regs()
Now we don't print information about exceptions if signal is simply
send by another userspace app. So in case of waitpid02 we will print
next message:
_____________________________
./waitpid02
potentially unexpected fatal signal 8.
