[PATCH 4.20 036/127] x86/fault: Dont try to recover from an implicit supervisor access

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

 



4.20-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit ebb53e2597e2dc7637ab213df006e99681b6ee25 ]

This avoids a situation in which we attempt to apply various fixups
that are not intended to handle implicit supervisor accesses from
user mode if we screw up in a way that causes this type of fault.
