Zachary Amsden 0998e4228a [PATCH] x86: privilege cleanup ... Privilege checking cleanup. Originally, these diffs were much greater, but recent cleanups in Linux have already done much of the cleanup. I added some explanatory comments in places where the reasoning behind certain tests is rather subtle. Also, in traps.c, we can skip the user_mode check in handle_BUG(). The reason is, there are only two call chains - one via die_if_kernel() and one via do_page_fault(), both entering from die(). Both of these paths already ensure that a kernel mode failure has happened. Also, the original check here, if (user_mode(regs)) was insufficient anyways, since it would not rule out BUG faults from V8086 mode execution. Saving the %ss segment in show_regs() rather than assuming a fixed value also gives better information about the current kernel state in the register dump.
