Bodo Stroesser c578455a3e [PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, abstract host page fault data
This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and
skas-regs.

It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in
sysdep/faultinfo.h.

The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and
thread.regs.tt

Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo
to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment.

Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to

FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo)
    extracts the faulting address from faultinfo

FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo)
    extracts the "is_write" flag

SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo)
    is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14)
    on i386

UPT_FAULTINFO(regs)
    result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo
    in regs->skas.faultinfo

GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *)
    copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to
    struct faultinfo.

On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture
provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is
missing, because segv-stub will provide the info.

The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can
give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault
handling.

Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(),
I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.
