4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoim...@redhat.com> commit fe24e27128252c230a34a6c628da2bf1676781ea upstream. Peter Zijlstra's patch for converting WARN() to use UD2 triggered a bunch of false "unreachable instruction" warnings, which then triggered a seg fault in ignore_unreachable_insn(). The seg fault happened when it tried to dereference a NULL 'insn->func' pointer. Thanks to static_cpu_has(), some functions can jump to a non-function area in the .altinstr_aux section. That breaks ignore_unreachable_insn()'s assumption that it's always inside the original function. Make sure ignore_unreachable_insn() only follows jumps within the current function.
