[PATCH 3/3] powerpc: Implement PR_[GS]ET_UNALIGN prctls for powerpc

Paul Mackerras paulus at samba.org
Wed Jun 7 16:15:39 EST 2006


This gives the ability to control whether alignment exceptions get
fixed up or reported to the process as a SIGBUS, using the existing
PR_SET_UNALIGN and PR_GET_UNALIGN prctls.  We do not implement the
option of logging a message on alignment exceptions.
