From 49ec9177b8ec9c081850744468811e708a7c9841 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Santosh Sivaraj Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2019 13:43:49 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] extable: Add function to search only kernel exception table Certain architecture specific operating modes (e.g., in powerpc machine check handler that is unable to access vmalloc memory), the search_exception_tables cannot be called because it also searches the module exception tables if entry is not found in the kernel exception table.
