Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 121/219] powerpc/mm: Make NULL pointer deferences explicit on bad page faults.
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2019 00:47:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191122054911.1750-114-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191122054911.1750-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>

[ Upstream commit 49a502ea23bf9dec47f8f3c3960909ff409cd1bb ]

As several other arches including x86, this patch makes it explicit
that a bad page fault is a NULL pointer dereference when the fault
address is lower than PAGE_SIZE

In the mean time, this page makes all bad_page_fault() messages
shorter so that they remain on one single line. And it prefixes them
by "BUG: " so that they get easily grepped.
