From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 55a3235fc71bf34303e34a95eeee235b2d2a35dd ] For userspace to tell the difference between a random signal and an exception, the exception must include siginfo information. Using SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGILL is thus wrong, and it will result in userspace seeing si_code == SI_USER (like a random signal) instead of si_code == SI_KERNEL or a more specific si_code as all exceptions deliver. Therefore replace force_sig_info(SIGILL, SEND_SIG_FORCE, current) with force_sig(SIG_ILL, current) which gets this right and is shorter and easier to type. Fixes: 014940bad8e4 ("uprobes/x86: Send SIGILL if arch_uprobe_post_xol() fails") Fixes: 0b5256c7f173 ("uprobes: Send SIGILL if handle_trampoline() fails") Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
