Cant mm_fault_error() be called inside handle_speculative_fault() ?
Falling through the normal page fault path again just to raise a
signal seems overkill. Looking into mm_fault_error(), it seems they
are different for x86 and powerpc.
X86:
mm_fault_error(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long error_code,
unsigned long address, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
unsigned int fault)
powerpc:
mm_fault_error(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long addr, int fault)
Even in case of X86, I guess we would have reference to the faulting
VMA (after the SRCU search) which can be used to call this function
directly.
