Subject: [PATCHv8 12/17] x86/traps: Communicate a LASS violation in #GP message
Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2025 12:58:41 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250701095849.2360685-13-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250701095849.2360685-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>
From: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>
Provide a more helpful message on #GP when a kernel side LASS violation
is detected.
A NULL pointer dereference is reported if a LASS violation occurs due to
accessing the first page frame.
