[PATCH 4.9 87/88] mn10300/misalignment: Use SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR to report a failed user copy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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.
