It turns out that linux uses si_trapno very sparingly, and as such it can be considered extra information for a very narrow selection of signals, rather than information that is present with every fault reported in siginfo. As such move si_trapno inside the union inside of _si_fault. This results in no change in placement, and makes it eaiser to extend _si_fault in the future as this reduces the number of special cases. In particular with si_trapno included in the union it is no longer a concern that the union must be pointer aligned on most architectures because the union follows immediately after si_addr which is a pointer. This change results in a difference in siginfo field placement on sparc and alpha for the fields si_addr_lsb, si_lower, si_upper, si_pkey, and si_perf. These architectures do not implement the signals that would use si_addr_lsb, si_lower, si_upper, si_pkey, and si_perf. Further these architecture have not yet implemented the userspace that would use si_perf. The point of this change is in fact to correct these placement issues before sparc or alpha grow userspace that cares. This change was discussed[1] and the agreement is that this change is currently safe.
