signal handling core calls show_regs() with preemption disabled which
on ARC takes mmap_sem for mm/vma access, causing lockdep splat.
| [ARCLinux]# ./segv-null-ptr
| potentially unexpected fatal signal 11.
| BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/fork.c:1011
| in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 70, name: segv-null-ptr
| no locks held by segv-null-ptr/70.

Workaround by re-enabling preemption temporarily.
Note that the preemption disabling in core code around show_regs()
was introduced by commit

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.
