commit fe24e27128 upstream.
Peter Zijlstra's patch for converting WARN() to use UD2 triggered a
bunch of false "unreachable instruction" warnings, which then triggered
a seg fault in ignore_unreachable_insn().
The seg fault happened when it tried to dereference a NULL 'insn->func'
pointer. Thanks to static_cpu_has(), some functions can jump to a
non-function area in the .altinstr_aux section. That breaks
ignore_unreachable_insn()'s assumption that it's always inside the
original function.
Make sure ignore_unreachable_insn() only follows jumps within the
current function.

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.
