Linus Torvalds 1a8d05a726 VM_FAULT_RETRY fixes
Some of the page fault handlers do not deal with the following case
 correctly:
 	* handle_mm_fault() has returned VM_FAULT_RETRY
 	* there is a pending fatal signal
 	* fault had happened in kernel mode
 Correct action in such case is not "return unconditionally" - fatal
 signals are handled only upon return to userland and something like
 copy_to_user() would end up retrying the faulting instruction and
 triggering the same fault again and again.
 
 What we need to do in such case is to make the caller to treat that
 as failed uaccess attempt - handle exception if there is an exception
 handler for faulting instruction or oops if there isn't one.
 
 Over the years some architectures had been fixed and now are handling
 that case properly; some still do not.  This series should fix the
 remaining ones.
 
 Status:
 	m68k, riscv, hexagon, parisc: tested/acked by maintainers.
 	alpha, sparc32, sparc64: tested locally - bug has been
 reproduced on the unpatched kernel and verified to be fixed by
 this series.
 	ia64, microblaze, nios2, openrisc: build, but otherwise
 completely untested.
