Subject: [PATCH 4.16 279/279] ARM: fix kill( ,SIGFPE) breakage

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@...linux.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit 92d44a42af81e850a038c38278ff4f434b2871df ]

Commit 7771c6645700 ("signal/arm: Document conflicts with SI_USER and
SIGFPE") broke the siginfo structure for userspace triggered signals,
causing the strace testsuite to regress.  Fix this by eliminating
the FPE_FIXME definition (which is at the root of the breakage) and
use FPE_FLTINV instead for the case where the hardware appears to be
reporting nonsense.

Fixes: 7771c6645700 ("signal/arm: Document conflicts with SI_USER and SIGFPE")
