From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit ef72f3110d8b19f4c098a0bff7ed7d11945e70c6 upstream. The kernel module testcase (lib/test_user_copy.c) exhibited a kernel crash on parisc if the parameters for copy_from_user were reversed ("illegal reversed copy_to_user" testcase). Fix this potential crash by checking the fault handler if the faulting address is in the exception table.
