NULL pointers are pointers to user memory space. So user pagetable has to be set in order to avoid random behaviour in case of NULL pointer dereference, otherwise we may encounter random memory access hence Machine Check Exception from TLB Miss handlers. Set user pagetable as early as possible in order to properly catch early kernel NULL pointer dereference.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
