Linus Torvalds 9605456919 x86: don't send SIGBUS for kernel page faults
It's wrong for several reasons, but the most direct one is that the
fault may be for the stack accesses to set up a previous SIGBUS.  When
we have a kernel exception, the kernel exception handler does all the
fixups, not some user-level signal handler.

Even apart from the nested SIGBUS issue, it's also wrong to give out
kernel fault addresses in the signal handler info block, or to send a
SIGBUS when a system call already returns EFAULT.
