[PATCH 1/3] siginfo: Move si_trapno inside the union inside _si_fault

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Fri Apr 30 2021 - 18:50:41 EST



It turns out that linux uses si_trapno very sparingly, and as such it
can be considered extra information for a very narrow selection of
signals, rather than information that is present with every fault
reported in siginfo.

As such move si_trapno inside the union inside of _si_fault. This
results in no change in placement, and makes it eaiser to extend
_si_fault in the future as this reduces the number of special cases.
In particular with si_trapno included in the union it is no longer a
concern that the union must be pointer alligned on most architectures
because the union followes immediately after si_addr which is a
pointer.
