Load instructions using ASI_PNF or other no-fault ASIs should not cause a SIGSEGV or SIGBUS. A garden variety unmapped address follows the TSB miss path, and when no valid mapping is found in the process page tables, the miss handler checks to see if the access was via a no-fault ASI. It then fixes up the target register with a zero, and skips the no-fault load instruction. But different paths are taken for data access exceptions and alignment traps, and these do not respect the no-fault ASI. We add checks in these paths for the no-fault ASI, and fix up the target register and TPC just like in the TSB miss case.

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.
