x86/fault: Decode page fault OOPSes better
One of Linus' favorite hobbies seems to be looking at OOPSes and
decoding the error code in his head. This is not one of my favorite
hobbies :)
Teach the page fault OOPS hander to decode the error code. If it's
a !USER fault from user mode, print an explicit note to that effect
and print out the addresses of various tables that might cause such
an error.
With this patch applied, if I intentionally point the LDT at 0x0 and
run the x86 selftests, I get:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
HW error: normal kernel read fault
This was a system access from user code
