[PATCH] x86: use probe_kernel_address in handle_BUG()
Avoid possible deadlock on a BUG() inside down_write(mmap_sem). The deadlock can only occur if something has gone horridly wrong, because a fault here shouldn't happen. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
