Subject: signal/powerpc: On swapcontext failure force SIGSEGV
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
commit 83a1f27ad773b1d8f0460d3a676114c7651918cc upstream.
If the register state may be partial and corrupted instead of calling
do_exit, call force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV). Which properly kills the
process with SIGSEGV and does not let any more userspace code execute,
instead of just killing one thread of the process and potentially
confusing everything.
