From 548acf19234dbda5a52d5a8e7e205af46e9da840 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Luck Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2016 10:20:12 -0800 Subject: x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to allow new handling options Huge amounts of help from Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field. Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with: ' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. ' The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a handler that executes the actions. We start out with three handlers: 1: Legacy - just jumps the to fixup IP 2: Fault - provide the trap number in %ax to the fixup code 3: Cleaned up legacy for the uaccess error hack Signed-off-by: Tony Luck Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/f6af78fcbd348cf4939875cfda9c19689b5e50b8.1455732970.git.tony.luck@intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/mm/fault.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'arch/x86/mm/fault.c') diff --git a/arch/x86/mm/fault.c b/arch/x86/mm/fault.c index eef44d9a3f77..495946c3f9dd 100644 --- a/arch/x86/mm/fault.c +++ b/arch/x86/mm/fault.c @@ -656,7 +656,7 @@ no_context(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long error_code, int sig; /* Are we prepared to handle this kernel fault? */ - if (fixup_exception(regs)) { + if (fixup_exception(regs, X86_TRAP_PF)) { /* * Any interrupt that takes a fault gets the fixup.
