Re: [PATCH 1/2] ARM: BUG if jumping to usermode address in kernel mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



CC GregKH, since this patch would better to get to stable kernel.
This patch also expose a qemu issue which fixed by upstream commit:
3aaf33bebda8d4ffcc0f ARM: avoid faulting on qemu

Both of patches are tested in linaro's kernelci and LKFT on stable
kernel 4.4/4.9/4.14, no regressions. The lts 3.18 isn't applicable for
this patches.

Regards
Alex
