I don't think you really understand what is going on here. On the kernel level you would never wrap up a process in another process in order to catch a mistake, and then do error correction. That method of programming is not appropriate for kernel level code where you are running everything on the hardware.
You can test for a condition before you run the code, and use GOTO if you want, but you are not doing a Java like Catch and Throw.
I'm not talking about running managed code in the kernel. I'm talking about whether there is a more general version of something like _ASM_EXTABLE, or maybe even doing something like what Windows does with its __try/__except machinery which uses stack unwinding information.
From the responses here it's clear that there's no such thing in the kernel, at least that you guys know about. Thanks.
