Public bug reported: Issue: Between upstream kernel v3.19 to v4.2,when Intel SMEP/SMAP protection was triggered by some wild function call or data access, the screen would be frozen and never come back,but the system does not hang.
Generally, an SMEP/SMAP violation should cause the involved process killed, an oops from page fault exception generated to the syslog, and the system survived. Fix: One patch from 4.3 kernel fix this issue commit c50bfd08d60cefbe1714c4a53b1c325982858549 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vet...@ffwll.ch> Date: Tue Jul 28 13:18:40 2015 +0200 drm/fbdev: Return -EBUSY when oopsing ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1520427 Title: drm/fbdev: Return -EBUSY when oopsing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1520427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
