Yes, this patch is motivated by a linux port of the Brown simulator. While the sigcontext contains the information we need, we'd like to share as much code with the Solaris version as possible. The patch is also useful from the standpoint of de-facto standards compliance; many programs expext si_addr and si_code to be correctly filled in for SEGV's.
Below is the same patch, reworked for 2.3.39. Gurus-- is this or is this not a welcome/useful patch? I realize that do_page_fault is a sensitive place to be playing around, but the patch is not particularly risky. Should I be making these patches against the 2.3.40 pre-patches? I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks, Keith Adams
