Improve UML handling of segmentation faults in kernel mode. Although
such page faults are generally caused by a kernel bug, it is annoying
if they cause an infinite loop, or panic the kernel. More importantly,
a robust implementation allows to write KUnit tests for various guard
pages, preventing potential kernel self-protection regressions.
Petr Tesarik (2):
um: do not panic on kernel mode faults
um: oops on accessing an non-present page in the vmalloc area
