    Kernel Fault: Code=15 (Data TLB miss fault) at addr 0f7fe3c0

    Hardware name: 9000/785/C3600

This happens because patching static key code temporarily maps it via
fixmap and if it happens before page allocator is initialized set_fixmap()
cannot allocate memory using pte_alloc_kernel().

Make sure that fixmap page tables are preallocated early so that
pte_offset_kernel() in set_fixmap() never resorts to pte allocation.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
