__bad_area_nosemaphore() calls both force_sig_pkuerr() and
force_sig_fault() when handling SEGV_PKUERR. This does not cause
problems because the second signal is filtered by the legacy_queue()
check in __send_signal() because in both cases, the signal is SIGSEGV,
the second one seeing that the first one is already pending.
This causes the kernel to do unnecessary work so send the signal only
once for SEGV_PKUERR.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
