commit 500d58300571b6602341b041f97c082a461ef994 upstream.
While reviewing the signal sending on openrisc the do_unaligned_access function stood out because it is obviously wrong. A comment about an si_code set above when actually si_code is never set. Leading to a random si_code being sent to userspace in the event of an unaligned access.
Looking further SIGBUS BUS_ADRALN is the proper pair of signal and si_code to send for an unaligned access. That is what other architectures do and what is required by posix.
Given that do_unaligned_access is broken in a way that no one can be relying on it on openrisc fix the code to just do the right thing.
