From a2aa52ab16efbee40ad118ebac4a5e438f5b43ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2018 09:34:03 +0100 Subject: x86/fault: Clean up the page fault oops decoder a bit - Make the oops messages a bit less scary (don't mention 'HW errors') - Turn 'PROT USER' (which is visually easily confused with PROT_USER) into individual bit descriptors: "[PROT] [USER]". This also makes "[normal kernel read fault]" more apparent. - De-abbreviate variables to make the code easier to read - Use vertical alignment where appropriate. - Add comment about string size limits and the helper function. - Remove unnecessary line breaks.
