From 690dbe1ced143876d8fa56b72310738dbe079d0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2005 21:11:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86_64: access of some bad address x86_64 has a large sparse gate area between VSYSCALL_START and VSYSCALL_END, not all of it presently backed by pmds. Alexander Nyberg has found that in some circumstances gdb may try to ptrace here, and hit get_user_pages BUG_ON. It seems odd that gdb should be accessing here, but it certainly shouldn't crash in this way: relax BUG_ON to -EFAULT. Fixes kernel bugzilla #4801.
