See this mail:

And/or the comment near si_isr in /usr/include/asm/siginfo.h:

/*
 * si_isr is valid for SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, and SIGTRAP provided
 * that si_code is non-zero and __ISR_VALID is set in si_flags.
 */
#define si_isr          _sifields._sigfault._isr

For a description of the contents of si_isr, see page 2-154 in Volume
2 of the ``Intel Itanium Architecture Software Developer's Manual'':
