The function __bad_area_nosemaphore() calls kernelmode_fixup_or_oops()
with the parameter @signal being actually @pkey, which will send a
signal numbered with the argument in @pkey.
This bug can be triggered when the kernel fails to access user-given
memory pages that are protected by a pkey, so it can go down the
do_user_addr_fault() path and pass the !user_mode() check in
__bad_area_nosemaphore().
Most cases will simply run the kernel fixup code to make an -EFAULT. But
when another condition current->thread.sig_on_uaccess_err is met, which
is only used to emulate vsyscall, the kernel will generate the wrong
signal.
Add a new parameter @pkey to kernelmode_fixup_or_oops() to fix this.

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.
