From: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9e9d4b460f23bab61672eae397417d03917d116c ] In handle_interruption(), we call faulthandler_disabled() to check whether the fault handler is not disabled. If the fault handler is disabled, we immediately call do_page_fault(). It then calls faulthandler_disabled(). If disabled, do_page_fault() attempts to fixup the exception by jumping to no_context: no_context: if (!user_mode(regs) && fixup_exception(regs)) { return; } parisc_terminate("Bad Address (null pointer deref?)", regs, code, address); Apart from the error messages, the two blocks of code perform the same function. We can avoid two calls to faulthandler_disabled() by a simple revision to the code in handle_interruption(). Note: I didn't try to fix the formatting of this code block.
