Subject: [PATCH] arm64: print additional fault message when executing non-exec memory
Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2019 17:08:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191028090837.39652-1-zhengxiang9@huawei.com> (raw)

When attempting to executing non-executable memory, the fault message
shows:

  Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address
  ffff802dac469000

This may confuse someone, so add a new fault message for instruction
abort.
