    x86/mpx: Correctly report do_mpx_bt_fault() failures to user-space · 5ed386ec
    Joerg Roedel authored
    When this function fails it just sends a SIGSEGV signal to
    user-space using force_sig(). This signal is missing
    essential information about the cause, e.g. the trap_nr or
    an error code.
    
    Fix this by propagating the error to the only caller of
    mpx_handle_bd_fault(), do_bounds(), which sends the correct
    SIGSEGV signal to the process.
