mainlining shenanigans
85be9ae7b6
There have historically been two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer in kernel code. The function make_task_dead has been added to accomidate the second use. The call to do_exit in Linvalidmask is clearly not a normal userspace exit. As failure handling there are two possible ways to go. If userspace can trigger the issue force_exit_sig should be called. Otherwise make_task_dead probably from the implementation of die is appropriate. Replace the call of do_exit in Linvalidmask with make_task_dead as I don't know xtensa and especially xtensa assembly language well enough to do anything else.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
