Subject: [PATCH 09/24] powerpc/mm: Overhaul handling of bad page faults

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:49:31 +1000

A bad page fault is when the HW signals an error such as a bad
copy/paste, an AMO error, or some other type of error that will
not be fixed by updating the PTE.

Use a helper page_fault_is_bad() to check for bad page faults thus
removing the per-processor family open-coding in __do_page_fault()
and trigger a SIGBUS rather than a SIGSEGV which is more appropriate.
