Hi Eric,

Now that _exception no longer calls _exception_pkey it is no longer
necessary to handle any signal with any si_code.  All pkey exceptions
are SIGSEGV with paired with SEGV_PKUERR.  So just handle
that case and remove the now unnecessary parameters from _exception_pkey.

Looks fine to me (small query below).

Reviewed-by: Stephen Rothwell <redacted>
 	clear_siginfo(&info);
-	info.si_signo = signr;
-	info.si_code = code;
+	info.si_signo = SIGSEGV;
+	info.si_code = SEGV_PKUERR;
 	info.si_addr = (void __user *) addr;
 	info.si_pkey = key;
 
-	force_sig_info(signr, &info, current);
+	force_sig_info(info.si_signo, &info, current);
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why not just SIGSEGV?
