[RFC PATCH 3/4] x86/traps: Attempt to fixup exceptions in vDSO before signaling

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Dec 05 2018 - 18:20:33 EST


Call fixup_vdso_exception() to attempt to fixup exceptions in vDSO code
before generating a signal for userspace faults. This allows vDSO
functions to utilize exception fixup to report unhandled exceptions
directly to userspace for specific flows in lieu of generating a signal.
