Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] MIPS: Remove noreturn attribute for die()
Date:   Mon, 14 Aug 2023 11:52:59 +0800
Message-Id: <1691985181-28363-2-git-send-email-yangtiezhu@loongson.cn>
In-Reply-To: <1691985181-28363-1-git-send-email-yangtiezhu@loongson.cn>

Precedence: bulk

If notify_die() returns NOTIFY_STOP, honor the return value from the
handler chain invocation in die() as, through a debugger, the fault
may have been fixed. It makes sense even if ignoring the event will
make the system unstable, by allowing access through a debugger it
has been compromised already anyway. So we can remove the noreturn
attribute for die() to make our port consistent with x86, arm64,
riscv and csky.

Commit 20c0d2d44029 ("[PATCH] i386: pass proper trap numbers to die
chain handlers") may be the earliest of similar changes.
