The early bad fault or key fault test in do_hash_fault() ends up calling
into ___do_page_fault without having gone through an interrupt handler
wrapper (except the initial _RAW one). This can end up calling local irq
functions while the interrupt has not been reconciled, which will likely
cause crashes and it trips up on a later patch that adds more assertions.
pkey_exec_prot from selftests causes this path to be executed.
There is no real reason to run the in_nmi() test should be performed
before the key fault check. In fact if a perf interrupt in the hash
fault code did a stack walk that was made to take a key fault somehow
then running ___do_page_fault could possibly cause another hash fault
causing problems. Move the in_nmi() test first, and then do everything
else inside the regular interrupt handler function.

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.
