Subject: ARM: allow __do_kernel_fault() to report execution of memory faults
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40b466db1dffb41f0529035c59c5739636d0e5b8;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

ARM: allow __do_kernel_fault() to report execution of memory faults

Allow __do_kernel_fault() to detect the execution of memory, so we can
provide the same fault message as do_page_fault() would do. This is
required when we split the kernel address fault handling from the
main do_page_fault() code path.
