Victor Kamensky 09a6adf53d arm64: mm: unaligned access by user-land should be received as SIGBUS
After 52d7523 (arm64: mm: allow the kernel to handle alignment faults on
user accesses) commit user-land accesses that produce unaligned exceptions
like in case of aarch32 ldm/stm/ldrd/strd instructions operating on
unaligned memory received by user-land as SIGSEGV. It is wrong, it should
be reported as SIGBUS as it was before 52d7523 commit.

Changed do_bad_area function to take signal and code parameters out of esr
value using fault_info table, so in case of do_alignment_fault fault
user-land will receive SIGBUS. Wrapped access to fault_info table into
esr_to_fault_info function.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
