Hi Matt,

On 7.3.y, commit 4bef20bbb9e0 ("alpha: handle VM_FAULT_HWPOISON in 
do_page_fault()") was backported as it was marked Cc stable. However, it 
introduces `show_signal_msg()', which was introduced with commit 
e517a172b776 ("alpha: select SYSCTL_EXCEPTION_TRACE"). This commit was 
not marked Cc stable and therefore never landed on 7.3.y.

This resulted in a build failure on 7.3.4:

arch/alpha/mm/fault.c: In function ‘do_page_fault’:
arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:242:9: error: implicit declaration of function 
‘show_signal_msg’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
   242 |         show_signal_msg(regs, address, SIGBUS, "hardware memory 
error");
       |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please consider (partially) backporting this patch to fix build on Alpha.

Best Regards,
Mingcong Bai
