After52d7523(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 before52d7523commit. 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.
