Linus pointed out that deciphering the raw #PF error code and printing a more human readable message are two different things, and also that printing the negative cases is mostly just noise[1]. For example, the USER bit doesn't mean the fault originated in user code and stating that an oops wasn't due to a protection keys violation isn't interesting since an oops on a keys violation is a one-in-a-million scenario. Remove the per-bit decoding of the error code and instead print: - the raw error code - why the fault occurred - the effective privilege level of the access - the type of access - whether the fault originated in user code or kernel code This provides the user with the information needed to triage 99.9% of oopses without polluting the log with useless information or conflating the error_code with the CPL. Sample output: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address = 0000000000000008 #PF: supervisor-privileged instruction fetch from kernel code #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page BUG: unable to handle page fault for address = ffffbeef00000000 #PF: supervisor-privileged instruction fetch from kernel code #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page BUG: unable to handle page fault for address = ffffc90000230000 #PF: supervisor-privileged write access from kernel code #PF: error_code(0x000b) - reserved bit violation [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=whk_fsnxVMvF1T2fFCaP2WrvSybABrLQCWLJyCvHw6NKA@mail.gmail.com Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181221213657.27628-3-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> |
