With this patch applied old and new binaries are delivered a SIGBUS instead of SIGSEGV and the si_code is always BUS_ADRERR. This is halfway between the behavior old binaries expect and the new behavior. When an access violation occurs, old binaries expect a SIGBUS and an si_code of BUS_PAGE_FAULT. Presumably, we want new binaries to receive a SIGSEGV when an access violation occurs. This patch does not consider whether we are running under an old or new binary. Is that really okay?home | help
