For example, the USER bit doesn't mean the fault originated in user code and stating that an oops wasn't due to a protection keys violation isn't interesting since an oops on a keys violation is a one-in-a-million scenario. Remove the per-bit decoding of the error code and instead print: - the raw error code - why the fault occurred - the effective privilege level of the access - the type of access - whether the fault originated in user code or kernel code This provides the user with the information needed to triage 99.9% of oopses without polluting the log with useless information or conflating the error_code with the CPL. Sample output: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address = 0000000000000008 #PF: supervisor-privileged instruction fetch from kernel code #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page BUG: unable to handle page fault for address = ffffbeef00000000 #PF: supervisor-privileged instruction fetch from kernel code #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page BUG: unable to handle page fault for address = ffffc90000230000 #PF: supervisor-privileged write access from kernel code #PF: error_code(0x000b) - reserved bit violation [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=whk_fsnxVMvF1T2fFCaP2WrvSybABrLQCWLJyCvHw6NKA@mail.gmail.com Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: H.
