Some validation tests dynamically inject errors into memory used by applications to check that the system can recover from a variety of poison consumption sceenarios. But sometimes the virtual address picked by these tests is mapped to the zero page. This causes additional unexpected machine checks as other processes that map the zero page also consume the poison. Disallow injection to the zero page. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
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.
