Sometimes, NULL pointer dereferences are expected. Even when they
are accidental they are unlikely an exploit attempt because the
first page is never mapped.
The exemple below shows what we get when invoking the "show task"
sysrq handler, by writing 't' in /proc/sysrq-trigger

So, avoid the big KUAP warning by bailing out of bad_kernel_fault()
before calling bad_kuap_fault() when address references the first
page.

The first page can be mapped if mmap_min_addr is 0.
Blocking all faults to the first page would potentially break any
program that does that.
Also if there is something mapped at 0 it's a good chance it is an
exploit attempt :)

Ok, I see.
In fact, we hit this warning because we don't provide copy_from_kernel_nofault_allowed()
I'll cook a patch for that.
