[PATCH 1/2] sigaction.2: Add SEGV_CPERR

From: Yu-cheng Yu <hidden>
Date: 2021-02-26 17:28:56
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

When a branch instruction (i.e. call/ret/jmp) triggers a control-protection
fault, si_code is set to SEGV_CPERR.  Add the new si_code to sigaction.2.
