[PATCH v3 13/13] x86/mm: Improve stack-overflow #PF handling

Andy Lutomirski
2016-06-20T23:43:43Z

If we get a page fault indicating kernel stack overflow, invoke
handle_stack_overflow(). To prevent us from overflowing the stack
again while handling the overflow (because we are likely to have
very little stack space left), call handle_stack_overflow() on the
double-fault stack
