Subject: [PATCH v11 4/7] extable: Add function to search only kernel exception table
Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2019 13:43:49 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190820081352.8641-5-santosh@fossix.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190820081352.8641-1-santosh@fossix.org>
Certain architecture specific operating modes (e.g., in powerpc machine
check handler that is unable to access vmalloc memory), the
search_exception_tables cannot be called because it also searches the
module exception tables if entry is not found in the kernel exception
table.
