Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sigaction.2: wfix - Clarify si_addr description.
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2021 09:26:34 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210226172634.26905-3-yu-cheng.yu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210226172634.26905-1-yu-cheng.yu@intel.com>

SIGSEGV fills si_addr only for memory access faults.  Add a note to clarify.
