[ Upstream commit 9e9d4b460f ]
In handle_interruption(), we call faulthandler_disabled() to check whether the
fault handler is not disabled. If the fault handler is disabled, we immediately
call do_page_fault(). It then calls faulthandler_disabled(). If disabled,
do_page_fault() attempts to fixup the exception by jumping to no_context:
no_context:
if (!user_mode(regs) && fixup_exception(regs)) {
return;
}
parisc_terminate("Bad Address (null pointer deref?)", regs, code, address);
Apart from the error messages, the two blocks of code perform the same
function.
We can avoid two calls to faulthandler_disabled() by a simple revision
to the code in handle_interruption().
Note: I didn't try to fix the formatting of this code block.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
