When the system has high memory pressure, the page containing the
instruction may be paged out. Using probe_kernel_address() means that
if the page is swapped out, the resulting page fault will not be
handled because page faults are disabled by this function.
Use get_user() to read the instruction instead.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going

The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a

The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.
Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.
The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.
In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.
Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added)
probe_kernel_read().
The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address()
returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns
-EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared.
probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas
probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert
additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs,
although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside
arch/.
My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and
converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got
tiresome.
This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single

Currently, it's possible to set the kernel to ignore alignment
faults when changing the alignment fault handling mode at runtime
via /proc/sys/alignment, even though this is undesirable on ARMv6
and above, where it can result in infinite spins where an un-fixed-
up instruction repeatedly faults.
In addition, the kernel clobbers any alignment mode specified on
the command-line if running on ARMv6 or above.
This patch factors out the necessary safety check into a couple of
new helper functions, and checks and modifies the fault handling
mode as appropriate on boot and on writes to /proc/cpu/alignment.
Prior to ARMv6, the behaviour is unchanged.
For ARMv6 and above, the behaviour changes as follows:
* Attempting to ignore faults on ARMv6 results in the mode being
forced to UM_FIXUP instead. A warning is printed if this
happened as a result of a write to /proc/cpu/alignment. The
user's UM_WARN bit (if present) is still honoured.
* An alignment= argument from the kernel command-line is now
honoured, except that the kernel will modify the specified mode
as described above. This is allows modes such as UM_SIGNAL and
UM_WARN to be active immediately from boot, which is useful for
debugging purposes.

When the policy for user space is to ignore misaligned accesses from user
space, the processor then performs a documented rotation on the accessed
data. This is the result of the access being trapped, and the kernel
disabling the alignment trap before returning to user space again.
In kernel space we always want misaligned accesses to be fixed up. This
is enforced by always re-enabling the alignment trap on every entry into
kernel space from user space. No such re-enabling is performed when an
exception occurs while already in kernel space as the alignment trap is
always supposed to be enabled in that case.
There is however a small race window when a misaligned access in user
space is trapped and the alignment trap disabled, but the CPU didn't
return to user space just yet. Any exception would be entered from kernel
space at that point and the kernel would then execute with the alignment
trap disabled.

boot. This can prevent systems booting properly.
There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired
default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be
booted.
So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via
the kernel command line.

From: Min Zhang <mzhang@mvista.com>
Add alignment fault fixup support for 32-bit Thumb-2 LDM, LDRD, POP,
PUSH, STM and STRD instructions. Alignment fault fixup support for
the remaining 32-bit Thumb-2 load/store instruction cases is not
included since ARMv6 and later processors include hardware support
for loads and stores of unaligned words and halfwords.
