No - the old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if that thread wasn't the main thread for the process. Perhaps the description for the commit should better reflect that? -Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
