[PATCH] powerpc/mm: restore SEGV_ACCERR for segv on mapped region

[John Sperbeck <jsperbeck@google.com>]

A recent refactoring of the powerpc page fault handler caused
access to protected memory regions to indicate SEGV_MAPERR instead
of the traditional SEGV_ACCERR in the si_code field of a user-space
signal handler.  This can confuse debug libraries that temporarily
change the protection of memory regions, and expect to use
SEGV_ACCERR as an indication to restore access to a region.

This change restores the previous behavior.  The following program
exhibits the issue:

    $ ./repro read  || echo "FAILED"
    $ ./repro write || echo "FAILED"
    $ ./repro exec  || echo "FAILED"

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <signal.h>
    #include <sys/mman.h>
    #include <assert.h>

    static void segv_handler(int n, siginfo_t *info, void *arg) {
            _exit(info->si_code == SEGV_ACCERR ? 0 : 1);
    }

    int main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
            void *p = NULL;
            struct sigaction act = {
                    .sa_sigaction = segv_handler,
                    .sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO,
            };

            assert(argc == 2);
            p = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(),
                    (strcmp(argv[1], "write") == 0) ? PROT_READ : 0,
                    MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
            assert(p != MAP_FAILED);

            assert(sigaction(SIGSEGV, &act, NULL) == 0);
            if (strcmp(argv[1], "read") == 0)
                    printf("%c", *(unsigned char *)p);
            else if (strcmp(argv[1], "write") == 0)
                    *(unsigned char *)p = 0;
            else if (strcmp(argv[1], "exec") == 0)
                    ((void (*)(void))p)();
            return 1;  /* failed to generate SEGV */
    }
