[PATCH 2/2] um: oops on accessing an non-present page in the vmalloc area

[Petr Tesarik]

From: Petr Tesarik <petr.tesarik1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If a segmentation fault is caused by an address in the vmalloc area, check
that the target page is present.

Currently, if the kernel hits a guard page the vmalloc area, UML assumes
that the fault is caused merely by a stale mapping and will be fixed by
flush_tlb_kernel_vm(). Of course, this will not create any mapping for a
guard page, so the faulting instruction will cause exactly the same fault
when it is executed again, effectively creating a beautiful (but useless)
infinite loop.
