Hello,

There’s three way to perform an invalid memory access :

The attempt to execute/jump at an invalid address.
The attempt to read at an invalid address.
The attempt to write at an invalid address.

Determining the execute case with rt_sigaction is easy : the last value of eip match the value of the address which caused the segfault.

But how to know if the SIGSEGV occurred by a read or by a write attempt ? In the same time shouldn’t that information belong in the mmu ?
