From 80dce5e37493029e1fb7f890b960264ba9a46fe4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2017 19:35:35 -0500 Subject: signal/ia64: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE Setting si_code to __SI_FAULT results in a userspace seeing an si_code of 0. This is the same si_code as SI_USER. Posix and common sense requires that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code. As such this use of 0 for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI. Given that ia64 is on it's last legs I don't know that it is worth fixing this, but it is worth documenting what is going on so that no one decides to copy this bad decision. This was introduced in 2.3.51 so this mess has had a long time for people to be able to start depending on it. Cc: Tony Luck Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
