[PATCH v12 6/6] arm64: send SIGBUS to user process for SEA exception

From: Tong Tiangen
Date: Tue May 28 2024 - 05:00:44 EST


For SEA exception, kernel require take some action to recover from memory
error, such as isolate poison page adn kill failure thread, which are done
in memory_failure().

During our test, the failure thread cannot be killed due to this issue[1],
Here, I temporarily workaround this issue by sending signals to user
processes in do_sea(). After [1] is merged, this patch can be rolled back
or the SIGBUS will be sent repeated.
