[PATCH 4.14 11/16] exit: Allow oops_limit to be disabled

[Eric Biggers]

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

commit de92f65719cd672f4b48397540b9f9eff67eca40 upstream.

In preparation for keeping oops_limit logic in sync with warn_limit,
have oops_limit == 0 disable checking the Oops counter.

[PATCH 4.14 13/16] panic: Introduce warn_limit

[Eric Biggers]

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

commit 9fc9e278a5c0b708eeffaf47d6eb0c82aa74ed78 upstream.

Like oops_limit, add warn_limit for limiting the number of warnings when
panic_on_warn is not set.
