Kees Cook 1b4cfe3c0a lib/bug.c: exclude non-BUG/WARN exceptions from report_bug() 
Commit b8347c2196 ("x86/debug: Handle warnings before the notifier
chain, to fix KGDB crash") changed the ordering of fixups, and did not
take into account the case of x86 processing non-WARN() and non-BUG()
exceptions.  This would lead to output of a false BUG line with no other
information.

In the case of a refcount exception, it would be immediately followed by
the refcount WARN(), producing very strange double-"cut here":

  lkdtm: attempting bad refcount_inc() overflow
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  Kernel BUG at 0000000065f29de5 [verbose debug info unavailable]
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  refcount_t overflow at lkdtm_REFCOUNT_INC_OVERFLOW+0x6b/0x90 in cat[3065], uid/euid: 0/0
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3065 at kernel/panic.c:657 refcount_error_report+0x9a/0xa4
  ...

In the prior ordering, exceptions were searched first:

   do_trap_no_signal(struct task_struct *tsk, int trapnr, char *str,
   ...
                if (fixup_exception(regs, trapnr))
                        return 0;

  -               if (fixup_bug(regs, trapnr))
  -                       return 0;
  -

As a result, fixup_bugs()'s is_valid_bugaddr() didn't take into account
needing to search the exception list first, since that had already
happened.

So, instead of searching the exception list twice (once in
is_valid_bugaddr() and then again in fixup_exception()), just add a
simple sanity check to report_bug() that will immediately bail out if a
BUG() (or WARN()) entry is not found.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
