uml: install panic notifier earlier
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It turns out that if there's a panic early enough, UML will just sit there in
the LED-blinking loop because the panic notifier hadn't been installed yet.

This patch installs it earlier.

It also fixes the problem which exposed the hang, namely that if you give UML
a zero-sized initrd, it will ask alloc_bootmem for zero bytes, and that will
cause the panic.

While I was in initrd.c, I gave it a style makeover.

Prompted by checkpatch, I moved a couple extern declarations of uml_exitcode
to kern_util.h.
