Subject: [PATCH 5/7] x86/uaccess: Warn on uaccess faults other than #PF
Date: Tue, 24 May 2016 15:48:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5bcff14f574b1a9852d1334a9fa8886c70c928c4.1464129798.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1464129798.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1464129798.git.luto@kernel.org>

If a uaccess instruction fails due to an8 error other than #PF,
warn.  If the fault is #GP, it most likely indicates access to a
non-canonical address, which means that an access_ok check is
missing, and that's bad.  If the fault is something else (#UD?),
then something is very wrong and we should diagnose it rather
than ignoring it.
