The helpers added are: send_sig_mceerr force_sig_mceerr force_sig_bnderr force_sig_pkuerr Filling out siginfo properly can ge tricky. Especially for these specialized cases where the temptation is to share code with other cases which use a different subset of siginfo fields. Unfortunately that code sharing frequently results in bugs with the wrong siginfo fields filled in, and makes it harder to verify that the siginfo structure was properly initialized. Provide these helpers instead that get all of the details right, and guarantee that siginfo is properly initialized. send_sig_mceerr and force_sig_mceer are a little special as two si codes BUS_MCEERR_AO and BUS_MCEER_AR both use the same extended signinfo layout.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
