The patch titled
add print_fatal_signals support
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
add-print_fatal_signals-support.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: add print_fatal_signals support
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
Add the print-fatal-signals=1 boot option and the
/proc/sys/kernel/print-fatal-signals runtime switch.
This feature prints some minimal information about userspace segfaults to
the kernel console. This is useful to find early bootup bugs where
userspace debugging is very hard.
Defaults to off.
