    signal: Properly deliver SIGSEGV from x86 uprobes · 4a63c1ff
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    For userspace to tell the difference between an random signal
    and an exception, the exception must include siginfo information.
    
    Using SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGSEGV is thus wrong, and it will result in
    userspace seeing si_code == SI_USER (like a random signal) instead of
    si_code == SI_KERNEL or a more specific si_code as all exceptions
    deliver.
    
    Therefore replace force_sig_info(SIGSEGV, SEND_SIG_FORCE, current)
    with force_sig(SIG_SEGV, current) which gets this right and is shorter
    and easier to type.
