Bug description:
  Issue: 
  Between upstream kernel v3.19 to v4.2,when Intel SMEP/SMAP protection was triggered by some wild function call or data access,  the screen would be frozen and never come back,but the system does not hang.

  Generally, an SMEP/SMAP violation should cause the involved process
  killed, an oops from page fault exception generated to the syslog, and
  the system survived.

  Fix:
  One patch from 4.3 kernel fix this issue
