SubjectRe: [uml-devel] [REVIEW][PATCH 19/22] signal/um: Use force_sig_fault in relay_signal.
Sigh I should have Cc'd Martin Partel as well as this bit is his
original code.

The only case I can see my changed relay_signal affecting on arm is the
nasty hach where errno is set in conjunction with trap_trace.

Having a second look I really don't understand what relay_signal is
trying to do.

The function relay_signal does not pass siginfo through unchanged.
The function relay_signal does not handle cases where si_code is
not SI_USER or SI_KERNEL, or any of the other signal independent
si_codes.

In my change I believe I have preserved the character of relay_signal of
just passing through the fault.

Still even after reading the commit that upgraded relay_signal to
preserve si_code and si_addr I really don't understand the intended
logic.

Am I missing something subtle or have the subtle details of siginfo just
always been ignored?

um: pass siginfo to guest process

UML guest processes now get correct siginfo_t for SIGTRAP, SIGFPE,
SIGILL and SIGBUS. Specifically, si_addr and si_code are now correct
where previously they were si_addr = NULL and si_code = 128.
