[PATCH 4.4 091/101] x86/mpx: Correctly report do_mpx_bt_fault() failures to user-space
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 03 2017 - 10:49:57 EST
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>
commit 5ed386ec09a5d75bcf073967e55e895c2607a5c3 upstream.
When this function fails it just sends a SIGSEGV signal to
user-space using force_sig(). This signal is missing
essential information about the cause, e.g. the trap_nr or
an error code.
Fix this by propagating the error to the only caller of
mpx_handle_bd_fault(), do_bounds(), which sends the correct
SIGSEGV signal to the process.
