The reason for kprobe::fault_handler(), as given by their comment: * We come here because instructions in the pre/post * handler caused the page_fault, this could happen * if handler tries to access user space by * copy_from_user(), get_user() etc. Let the * user-specified handler try to fix it first. Is just plain bad. Those other handlers are ran from non-preemptible context and had better use _nofault() functions. Also, there is no upstream usage of this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
