Eric W. Biederman f8ec66014f signal: Add send_sig_fault and force_sig_fault
The vast majority of signals sent from architecture specific code are
simple faults.  Encapsulate this reality with two helper functions so
that the nit-picky implementation of preparing a siginfo does not need
to be repeated many times on each architecture.

As only some architectures support the trapno field, make the trapno
arguement only present on those architectures.

Similary as ia64 has three fields: imm, flags, and isr that
are specific to it.  Have those arguments always present on ia64
and no where else.

This ensures the architecture specific code always remembers which
fields it needs to pass into the siginfo structure.

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.
