[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.20 024/117] x86/fault: Don't try to recover from an implicit supervisor access

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Tue Jan 08 2019 - 15:09:04 EST


From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ebb53e2597e2dc7637ab213df006e99681b6ee25 ]

This avoids a situation in which we attempt to apply various fixups
that are not intended to handle implicit supervisor accesses from
user mode if we screw up in a way that causes this type of fault.
