Subject: [PATCH] x86: use probe_kernel_address in handle_BUG()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e2af92e089d4c845248844a3e7ee06ce889af46;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] x86: use probe_kernel_address in handle_BUG()

Avoid possible deadlock on a BUG() inside down_write(mmap_sem).  The deadlock
can only occur if something has gone horridly wrong, because a fault here
shouldn't happen.
