From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Aug 02 2021 - 09:46:04 EST
From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9c698bff66ab4914bb3d71da7dc6112519bde23e upstream.
Ensure that the signal page contains our poison instruction to increase
the protection against ROP attacks and also contains well defined
contents.
