[PATCH 3.15] x86,vdso: Fix an OOPS accessing the hpet mapping w/o an hpet

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed May 14 2014 - 19:01:40 EST


The access should fail, but it shouldn't oops.

Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The oops can be triggered in qemu using -no-hpet (but not nohpet) by
running a 32-bit program and reading a couple of pages before the vdso.

This will conflict with tip/x86/vdso. Sorry.
