If we take an unhandled fault from EL1, either:
a) The xFSC handler calls die_kernel_fault() directly. In this case,
die_kernel_fault() calls:
pr_alert(..., msg, addr);
mem_abort_decode(esr);
show_pte(addr);
die();
bust_spinlocks(0);
do_exit(SIGKILL);
b) The xFSC handler returns to do_mem_abort(), indicating failure. In
this case, do_mem_abort() calls:
pr_alert(..., addr);
mem_abort_decode(esr);
show_pte(addr);
arm64_notify_die() {
die();
}
This inconstency is unfortunatem, and in theory in case (b) registered
notifiers can prevent us from terminating the faulting thread by
returning NOTIFY_STOP, whereupon we'll end up returning from the fault,
replaying, and almost certainly get stuck in a livelock spewing errors
into dmesg. We don't expect notifers to fix things up, since we dump
state to dmesg before invoking them, so it would be more sensible to
consistently terminate the thread in this case.
This patch has do_mem_abort() call die_kernel_fault() for unhandled
faults taken from EL1. Where we would previously have logged a messafe
of the form:
| Unhandled fault at ${ADDR}
... we will now log a message of the form:
| Unable to handle kernel ${FAULT_NAME} at virtual address ${ADDR}
... and we will consistently terminate the thread from which the fault
was taken.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
