The error code in a page fault on a kernel address indicates whether that address is mapped, which should not be revealed in a signal. The normal code path for a page fault on a kernel address sanitizes the bit, but the paths for vsyscall emulation and SIGBUS do not. Both are harmless, but for subtle reasons. SIGBUS is never sent for a kernel address, and vsyscall emulation will never fault on a kernel address per se because it will fail an access_ok() check instead. Make the code more robust by adding a helper that sets the relevant fields and sanitizing the error code in the helper. This also cleans up the code -- we had three copies of roughly the same thing.

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.
