x86, mm: fault.c, give another attempt at prefetch handing before SIGBUS
Impact: extend prefetch handling on 64-bit Currently there's an extra is_prefetch() check done in do_sigbus(), which we only do on 32 bits. This is a last-ditch check before we terminate a task, so it's worth giving prefetch instructions another chance - should none of our existing quirks have caught a prefetch instruction related spurious fault. The only risk is if a prefetch causes a real sigbus, in that case we'll not OOM but try another fault. But this code has been on 32-bit for a long time, so it should be fine in practice. So do this on 64-bit too - and thus remove one more #ifdef. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
