Subject: mn10300/misalignment: Use SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR to report a failed user copy
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6ac1dc736b323011a55ecd1fc5897c24c4f77cbd upstream.
Setting si_code to 0 is the same a setting si_code to SI_USER which is definitely
not correct. With si_code set to SI_USER si_pid and si_uid will be copied to
userspace instead of si_addr. Which is very wrong.
So fix this by using a sensible si_code (SEGV_MAPERR) for this failure.
