When running the crash tool on a s390 live system we get a kernel panic for reading memory within the kernel image: # uname -a Linux r3545011 4.14.0-rc8-00066-g1c9dbd4615fd #45 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 10 16:16:22 CET 2017 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux # crash /boot/vmlinux-devel /dev/mem # crash> rd 0x100000 usercopy: kernel memory exposure attempt detected from 0000000000100000 (<kernel text>) (8 bytes) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:72! illegal operation: 0001 ilc:1 [#1] PREEMPT SMP.

When the crash tool reads from 0x100000, this check leads to the kernel BUG(). So disable the kernel config option until this bug is fixed.

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.
