The patch titled
Subject: fortify: avoid panic() in favor of BUG()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
include-linux-stringh-add-the-option-of-fortified-stringh-functions-fix-2.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into include-linux-stringh-add-the-option-of-fortified-stringh-functions.patch
------------------------------------------------------
From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fortify: avoid panic() in favor of BUG()
Since detection of a given fortify failure is sufficient to stop the
memory corruption from happening, it doesn't make sense to unconditionally
bring down the entire system. Instead, use BUG() which will stop the bad
thread of kernel execution (and only optionally panic the system).
