Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ARM: allow __do_kernel_fault() to report execution of memory faults
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 12:26:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622102634.780100-3-bigeasy@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260622102634.780100-1-bigeasy@linutronix.de>
From: "Russell King (Oracle)" <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>
commit 40b466db1dffb41f0529035c59c5739636d0e5b8 upstream
Allow __do_kernel_fault() to detect the execution of memory, so we can
provide the same fault message as do_page_fault() would do. This is
required when we split the kernel address fault handling from the
main do_page_fault() code path.
