| |
This fault was detected using the kgdb test suite on boot and it crashes recursively due to the fact that CONFIG_KPROBES on mips adds an extra die notifier in the page fault handler. The crash signature looks like this:
kgdbts:RUN bad memory access test KGDB: re-enter exception: ALL breakpoints killed Call Trace: [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54 [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54
The fix for now is to have kgdb return immediately if the fault type is DIE_PAGE_FAULT and allow the kprobe code to decide what is supposed to happen.
