💥 force_sig_info_umip_fault(9) 💥

From the Kernel API Manual, bestie — welcome to the function that force-feeds a segfault vibe. 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

force_sig_info_umip_fault — Force a SIGSEGV with SEGV_MAPERR. 🚨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void force_sig_info_umip_fault (void __user *addr , struct pt_regs *regs
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • addr — Address that caused the signal. 📍
  • regs — Register set containing the instruction pointer. 🧠

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this one forces a SIGSEGV signal with SEGV_MAPERR as the error code. 💥 It's intended to be used to provide a segmentation fault when the result of the UMIP emulation could not be copied to the user space memory. 😭 That's the whole assignment, no cap.

🌸 RETURN 🌸

none — literally no return value, it's a void moment and that's iconic. 💅
