[PATCH 2/4] HWPOISON: Copy si_addr_lsb to user

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Wed Oct 06 2010 - 16:49:56 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The original hwpoison code added a new siginfo field si_addr_lsb to
pass the granuality of the fault address to user space. Unfortunately
this field was never copied to user space. Fix this here.

I added explicit checks for the MCEERR codes to avoid having
to patch all potential callers to initialize the field.
