Subject: [Bug string/29546] sigdescr_np for SIGEMT is useless
Date: Tue, 06 Sep 2022 01:04:51 +0000	[thread overview]

> In what context did you come across this signal, and why was the string "EMT" not descriptive there?

I haven't seen this signal being sent to a process. Rather, I was looking at
the meta-information, namely how to best define sigdescr_np for Gnulib.

On Linux/SPARC, it seems to be used for "tagged arithmetic overflow".
On Linux/MIPS, for MIPS R2 instruction emulation.
On Hurd, it is what the Mach error EXC_EMULATION ("Emulation support
instruction encountered") translates to.
