Nathan reported [1] that when built with clang, the um kernel crashes pretty much immediately. This turned out to be an issue with the inline assembly I had added, when clang used %rax/%eax for both operands. Reorder it so current->thread.segv_continue is written first, and then the lifetime of _faulted won't have overlap with the lifetime of segv_continue. In the email thread Benjamin also pointed out that current->mm is only NULL for true kernel tasks, but we could do this for a userspace task, so the current->thread.segv_continue logic must be lifted out of the mm==NULL check. Finally, while looking at this, put a barrier() so the NULL assignment to thread.segv_continue cannot be reorder before the possibly faulting operation.
