In arch/sparc/kernel/traps_32.c::do_priv_instruction() we have this: die_if_kernel("Penguin instruction from Penguin mode??!?!", regs); If I'm not mistaken, that "??!" will be taken as a trigraph for "|" by the preprocessor, so the final string will end up either as "Penguin instruction from Penguin mode|?!" which I assume is not what we want, or as the correct string but with a warning about an ignored trigraph which I assume we don't want either. So, in order to elliminate the trigraph but keep the original string intact I changed it to die_if_kernel("Penguin instruction from Penguin mode?""?!?!", regs); I've tested with a small test program on my x86-64 host and it behaves as I would expect, but I've not tested the actual code in arch/sparc/kernel/traps_32.c since I have no way to compile for sparc (which is why I submit this as a [RFC] patch).
