Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and
error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.
Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault. Which
takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
and then calls force_sig_info.
In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info
is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.
Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.
The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.
In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.
Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

This patch includes the exception/interrupt entries, pt_reg structure and
related accessors.
/* Unaligned accessing handling*/
Andes processors cannot load/store information which is not naturally
aligned on the bus, i.e., loading a 4 byte data whose start address must
be divisible by 4. If unaligned data accessing is happened, data
unaligned exception will be triggered and user will get SIGSEGV or
kernel oops according to the unaligned address. In order to make user be
able to load/store data from an unaligned address, software load/store
emulation is implemented in arch/nds32/mm/alignment.c to address data
unaligned exception.
Unaligned accessing handling is disabled by default because it is not a
normal case. User can enable this feature by following steps.
A. Compile time:
1. Enable kernel config CONFIG_ALIGNMENT_TRAP
B. Run time:
1. Enter /proc/sys/nds32/unaligned_acess folder
2. Write 1 to file enable_mode to enable unaligned accessing
handling. User can disable it by writing 0 to this file.
3. Write 1 to file debug to show which unaligned address is under
processing. User can disable it by writing 0 to this file.
However, unaligned accessing handler cannot work if this unaligned
address is not accessible such as protection violation. On this
condition, the default behaviors for addressing data unaligned exception
still happen
