Hello Eric, As Steven pointed out, sparc sets tags per cacheline unlike pkey. This results in much finer granularity for tags that pkey and hence requires larger tag storage than what we can do in a vma. > > Can you please use force_sig_fault to send these signals instead > of force_sig_info.

I could change just the fault handlers for ADI related faults. Would it make more sense to change all the fault handlers in a separate patch and keep the code in arch/sparc/kernel/traps_64.c consistent? Dave M, do you have a preference?
