Subject: [PATCH] parisc: Fix kernel crash with reversed copy_from_user()
Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 21:28:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160408192849.GC4225@ls3530.box> (raw)
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.
