-.BR PR_MCE_KILL_CLEAR ,
-clear the thread memory corruption kill policy and use the system-wide default.
-(The system-wide default is defined by
-.IR /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill ;
-see
-.BR proc (5).)
-If
-.I arg2
-is
-.BR PR_MCE_KILL_SET ,
-use a thread-specific memory corruption kill policy.
-In this case,
-.I arg3
-defines whether the policy is
-.I early kill
-.RB ( PR_MCE_KILL_EARLY ),
-.I late kill
-.RB ( PR_MCE_KILL_LATE ),
-or the system-wide default
-.RB ( PR_MCE_KILL_DEFAULT ).
-Early kill means that the thread receives a
-.B SIGBUS
-signal as soon as hardware memory corruption is detected inside
-its address space.
-In late kill mode, the process is killed only when it accesses a corrupted page.
-See
-.BR sigaction (2)
-for more information on the
-.B SIGBUS
-signal.
-The policy is inherited by children.
-The remaining unused
