Hugh Dickins 690dbe1ced [PATCH] x86_64: access of some bad address
x86_64 has a large sparse gate area between VSYSCALL_START and
VSYSCALL_END, not all of it presently backed by pmds.  Alexander Nyberg has
found that in some circumstances gdb may try to ptrace here, and hit
get_user_pages BUG_ON.  It seems odd that gdb should be accessing here, but
it certainly shouldn't crash in this way: relax BUG_ON to -EFAULT.  Fixes
kernel bugzilla #4801.
