Yap, and people keep asking how to dump the running kernel, after
patching and jump labels and stuff... Here's how!

I think this one is more likely:
ba54d856a9d8 ("x86/fault: Dump user opcode bytes on fatal faults")
as it added the dumping of user opcode bytes.

Ok, can we pls move the sole dumping of opcodes in a helper called,
__show_opcodes(), for example, which the checking wrapper show_opcodes()
- without the "__" prefix - calls?
So that show_signal_msg() can call the checking variant - show_opcodes()
- as userspace might be doing monkey business there and we definitely
wanna check first but __show_regs() can call the non-checking variant
__show_opcodes() because there we wanna dump whatever rIP points to
because we wanna know if the machine has gone off into the weeds etc,
when staring at splats.
Or am I missing a security aspect here?
Thx.
