      Honestly, I can't decide whether to apply this. It really should never
      happen in the kernel, since the kernel can guarantee it won't get the
      access rights failure (highest privilege level, and can set %sr and
      %protid to whatever it wants.)
      
      It really genuinely is a bug that probably should panic the kernel. The
      only precedent I can easily see is x86 fixing up a bad iret with a
      general protection fault, which is more or less analogous to code 27
      here.
      
      On the other hand, taking the exception on a userspace access really
      isn't all that critical, and there's fundamentally little reason for the
      kernel not to SIGSEGV the process, and continue...
      
      Argh.
      
      (btw, I've instrumented my do_sys_poll with a pile of assertions that
       %cr8 << 1 == %sr3 == current->mm.context... let's see if where we're
       getting corrupted is deterministic, though, I would guess that it won't
       be.)

      During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group · dcca2bde
      Will Schmidt authored
      
      We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
      after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
      condition.
      
      Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
      state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
      application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
      that something has gone wrong.
      
      This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
      than just the one thread.

      mm: fault feedback #2 · 83c54070
      Nicholas Piggin authored
      
      This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into
      bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer.  This requires requires
      all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
      should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
      however that would be for another patch).

      [PATCH] mm: arch do_page_fault() vs in_atomic() · 6edaf68a
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      
      In light of the recent pagefault and filemap_copy_from_user work I've gone
      through all the arch pagefault handlers to make sure the inc_preempt_count()
      'feature' works as expected.
      
      Several sections of code (including the new filemap_copy_from_user) rely on
      the fact that faults do not take locks under increased preempt count.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
